I’ve raved about So You Think You Can Dance before, but here it is again. Last Thursday they announced the top twenty, with those chosen to dance in groups of two to five. And the performances were spectacular. We’ve watched all seven previous seasons, and so far, this season looks like it will outperform all that came before. If you’re not a fan of this show, you should be. We can’t figure out how the dancers can learn as many new routines as they do and still not make any mistakes in their performances. There may be tiny mistakes, but none but the judges and choreographers would pick them up. You can view last Thursday’s routines by going to So You Think You Can Dance and clicking on “Clips.” And here’s one from last season’s show just to give you a taste of what you’ve been missing.

Most of what I've written has been published as e-books and is available at Amazon. Match Play is a golf/suspense novel. Dust of Autumn is a bloody one set in upstate New York. Prairie View is set in South Dakota, with a final scene atop Rattlesnake Butte. Life in the Arbor is a children's book about Rollie Rabbit and his friends (on about a fourth grade level). The Black Widow involves an elaborate extortion scheme. Happy Valley is set in a retirement community. Doggy-Dog World is my memoir. And ES3 is a description of my method for examining English sentence structure.
