Effervescent, she shook up life
until it bubbled delicious.
Wore glitter star barrettes
high-kicking through life
like a sequined Rockette.
Bjorn is tending the bar today at dVerse and asks us to write a Twitter poem:

Yep, that’s me. About 10 years ago, celebrating with the Boston Pops on the 4th of July on the esplanade. This shot made the jumbotron that night! I always wanted to be a Rockette! 🙂

Wonderful image Lillian.. what joy in those high kicks… Would you believe me if I said that 10 years ago I did dance aerobic once a week… Ha.. a lonely guy among all those gals…

No Zumba back then… but plenty of quite advanced movements… I kept doing it several years actually.

Huge!! Someone had taken this photo the year before and about an hour before the concert, it appeared up there on a continuous loop! This is a photo of it on the jumbotron😊 Boston and the Pops really do up the 4th!

Dug out my cane from Bermuda. I’m hobbling along. No high kicks for a while — but I still have a barrette in my hair😊😉
