Hello, everyone! I just saw that I haven't posted since May!! Yikes! But I have been lurking from time to time, and the summer has been incredibly hectic.
Hubby left to visit his mother in mid-June. I went to Houston for some dancing. I was trying to get there for Tony, but they changed the dates on me, and I couldn't go when he was there. Then it was full speed ahead to get ready for the conference I was running on the French Caribbean island of Martinique. I love the place. It is absolutely beautiful, tropical, the people are friendly, the food--and esp. fruit--is terrific, but it's hot. As soon as you resign yourself to being continually sweaty, it's fine. Hubby got back the night before to come with, and then S2 and GF joined us for a week afterward.
Then when I made it back home, there was so much to catch up on. All my staff members took their vacation (not all at once), and then school started which begins our busy season.
No travel until the week before Thanksgiving. One of the studio managers where I go said if I could get back she'd make sure Tony was there. So I'm looking for a time I can arrange that.
Will try to watch some of the show. I just can't get motivated for it without Maks. I will root for Val, then Jenna, then Artem or Sharna. I don't really care about any of the celebs.
Hi Tango, it is so nice to hear from you. It sounds like you have been very busy this summer. Glad that you might get more lessons with tony. I hope you try to watch a little of dwts this season. I know you have your favorites, but maybe you can find a star to root for. Lol. I know you are probably not into the game, but it does help when you are not very invested in the show. Trying to pick and guess can be challenging in itself, plus we have prizes....lol. Anyway, I am just glad you checked in. Hugs

Late Evening check in. Hope you all had a great weekend. Did yard work all day today then we had a huge down pour, I mean it poured. Still sprinkling a bit tonight and a bit humid again.
Well can you believe it...Season 27...we have made it through 9 Seasons together. How wonderful it is to still be together.
I am going to see what is in the news before I head to bed.

Here is some thoughts from Pure...
The Vegas odds…usually make me chuckle. Bovada has posted their odds headed into week 1, and as I usually do, I find myself wondering just who they put in charge of making these odds…and how much (or how little) they know about how this show works. I tend to think they go more off of how well they think the contestants will dance, and don’t pay as much attention to the voting demographics of the show, or even the popularity of the pros the celebs are dancing with. So here are the odds at the moment, with the “most likely to win” at the top and the “least likely to win” at the bottom:
1.) Tinashe – 11/4
2.) Mary Lou Retton – 10/3
3.) Evanna Lynch – 7/1
4.) Juan Pablo Di Pace – 8/1
5.) Alexis Ren – 8/1
6.) Milo Manheim – 9/1
7.) Nancy McKeon – 10/1
8.) DeMarcus Ware – 12/1
9.) Joe Amabile – 12/1
10.) Nikki Glaser – 12/1
11.) Danelle Umstead – 14/1
12.) Bobby Bones – 25/1
13.) John Schneider – 26/1
So right off the bat, I think they have VASTLY underestimated DeMarcus. They really think Nancy, a middle-aged actress who’s been out of the limelight for awhile, has got a better chance of winning this than a recently retired Superbowl champ that spent most of his career with “America’s team”??? 😯 Oof…do you, Bovada. If I were the betting kind, I’d go put some money on DeMarcus right now, while his odds are low. I think they’re vastly OVERESTIMATING Mary Lou – sure, she’s a former Olympic gymnast, but she’s no spring chicken anymore, and likely can’t do the same stuff she was doing at 16; she’s also kind of splitting the nostalgia fanbase with John and Nancy. I don’t think she even makes it to the finale. I think Bobby has a better shot at winning that John, Nikki, Danelle, and Joe, since he fits in well with the main voting demographic; I would probably drop Alexis a bit, as I’m not convinced her Instagram followers are really going to come through for her.
Thoughts?
