I can go for this (can do)…

I was watching the latest TELUS commercial the other night — and if you’ve never seen a TELUS commercial, click right over to YouTube — created using the music of Daryl Hall and John Oates, aka Hall & Oates, aka the pioneers of Rock & Soul.

Rock & Soul, baby. Rock & Soul.

Their debut album was in 1972, and they have a long history of platinum and gold. Heart them.

For Author Lisa Kessler’s Friday Happy Dance of JOY!!! and for our mutual viewing pleasure, here is one of my fave Hall & Oates singles from 1981.

Then, there is I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do). Oh, and Maneater. And… Gotta love the sounds of the ’80s.

I can go for this (can do).

We’re not doing feeds today. Nobody is really here the Friday before New Year’s Eve. Right?

Tap, tap, tap…?

TGIF, baby!

A Friday Twofer…

You get a twofer today. Christmas and Author Lisa Kessler’s Friday Happy Day of JOY!!! in one video package.

This came across my Twitter stream on Thursday, courtesy of New York Times and USA TODAY Best Selling Author Teresa Medeiros. You can find Medeiros, and her wonderful books, here.

It was just so infectious and joy-giving, I had to share it here…with you.

I’m not saying it is, and I’m not saying it isn’t…

Military drill teams have always fascinated me.

I have a thing. A thing for MDTs.

I’m not saying it’s the precision, and I’m not saying it isn’t.

I’m not saying it’s the uniform, and I’m not saying it isn’t.

I’m not saying.
