Saturday evening as I emerged from my flu fog ...

I came into my work space to finish blog #1704 here, 

and to do "Dottie", the cover art, also here.

Since adding blog music I put it on to test the link 

& usually just let in run while I work.

It morphed artists & was on Michael Jackson here ...

when I thought back to 1984 when WW's Dad, Thor, drove us

& the 11 year old WW & Daughter #2 to Dodger Stadium.

I have a picture of WW & D2 in braces & smiling all the way,

but they are both stronger than me & would kill me if I used it.

I wonder if they remember our VW bus pulling up 

to the stadium in between lines of shiny limousines?

We were there to see

MICHAEL JACKSON & the Victory Tour.

Backstory: the tickets were offered through a lottery system.

$56 mail order each, mailed with the newspaper coupon, 
and then wait to be selected. No guarantee.

For once in my life I jumped on it! 
We bought, mailed & waited.

We were selected ... 4 tickets, 3rd row center!

So close, we knew we were really lucky.

We could see Diana Ross off stage & other celebrities.

So tonight, all of a sudden listening to MJ song after song, 

I was transported back to that magical night.

Isn't it funny what music can do?

Sunday, first day up after the flu bug battle ...

 

I did make it to the 2nd day of the 2 day class & I have

66 photos ready to process for Tuesday's Day#1706 blog.

Hope you'll stop by then?

Hey, how was your weekend?

A smile for Monday ...
