An early New Year’s 2009

My school held an early New Year’s Party, Monday night. All the faculties presented a song and dance for the institution’s 600 assorted staff. Not the biggest crowd I’ve performed for. No, it wasn’t televised. After numerous TV appearances last year, it appears my star is waining. Go figure, just as I’m starting to look damn good.

There were gala costumes.

There were (almost) professionally choreographed dance numbers.

And, there were 8 English teachers from around the world, doing the Village People’s infamous classic, YMCA. Their costumes consisted of blue jeans, white T-Shirts, and sunglasses. (We received kudos from all and sundry on the “coolness” of the sunglasses.)

Sometimes it’s best not to take things too seriously.
