Oh Mary,

Wow! I cruised over to Mary's blog today, and got to read her Shanghai shower enty. Wooo. This isn't really all that racy, even though it does happen in a shower, but it's just creepy that a stranger in a strange town has that much in common with our Mary. I was at a benefit we put on for a friend with bad health problems, and our friend Bart did a semi-karaoke drag version of "I will Survive". You don't know him, so I'll explain. He dresses in several nylon neglige's a white little old lady wig, a square dance skirt and cat-eye glasses. During the song, he gyrates, gesticulates, points, pouts and preens. He doesn't make any attempt to lip synch, for which I am glad. Did the audience stand there silently with mouths agog? No! They screamed, clapped and yelled. Sigh... Gloria Gaynor and her little song. I Will Survive has gone from hit to has-been to cliche to anthem for the over it. Everyone knows this feeling. I'm happy to be in a human family with a common language. This is how borders dissolve.
