Fandango’s Provocative Question #129
I’m not sure if this week’s question is provocative or merely frustrating. I’m 74 with enough physical issues and problems for half a dozen folks my age — and you want to know how, what, or why I’d want to change myself?
Poof! I’ve changed myself! No? Maybe I should have said “Abracadabra.”
Sure I’d like to change. I’d like to be 25-years younger and 100 years healthier. Lacking that, I suppose I could try to be friendlier, though I’m not sure why. If I was more friendly, at whom would I aim my newly-acquired charm?
Since I don’t have the wherewithal to get younger — and if I did I’m sure I could sell that knowledge for an unimaginable amount of money thus solving two major problems with one “thing” — I’ll just settle for staying alive, staying alive.
Staying ALIVE!

I think that’s the ONLY disco song I ever actually liked so it was fun to use it — and it went so well with the question! Besides, these days staying alive is no small thing!

just a curious question: Are you wearing gloves outside? Can you handle your camera?

No gloves. Just very white hands. And no, I can’t manage my camera with gloves. I know some people do it, but I can’t. I can’t find the buttons. In the winter, I either wear gloves without fingers or stick my gloves in my pockets, and take them out when I’m done taking pictures.

Same here! And that’s why I wondered 🤔.

When it is REALLY cold, I don’t bother to go out to shoot. I don’t like heat, but I get cold really fast and it can get VERY cold around here. Dangerously cold. About the only thing that gets me out are doctor appointments and bird feeding.

The moment I read the “question” that song started playing in my head. I had a mental image of the movie and me and it made me laugh. Thus the song.

I’m not a big disco fan, but I actually like the movie and I admit to having liked THIS album. I was working at Doubleday and half the staff used to go dancing at night and show up exhausted every morning. They wanted to keep working so they had to (sigh) cut back on dancing all night 🙂 It’s a hard life!
