An Anniversary


Hello most humans and many others,

I heard on the news the other day that this weekend was the thirtieth anniversary of the first prom in Elmore City, OK. Evidently, that is important because the hubbub about not being allowed to dance in the city limits, and then the decision to allow the prom, was the inspiration for the movie Footloose. I saw that on the national news this weekend while I was perched on the bar in the kitchen not doing anything else.

Missy Linda was reminding Tio Kane that Missy Elise had a slumber party at their house when she was in high school, and that movie was very popular. The girls played the movie at the party, and when the theme song started playing, the girls jumped and danced and sang until the house felt as if it were shaking. I guess that means that they had a good time.

Missy Linda's friend, DougcallmeDoug, is going to get an email to tell him the story about the movie before he moves back to NYC when school is over this semester. He has lived here almost two years now to teach at the university, but he will be going back to his life in Greenwich Village in May. Missy Linda wants him to know interesting things about Oklahoma so he will remember us fondly. (He did not know that our post office started, "going postal!")
