Remember Tap Dancing?
The Great BZWZ turns 26 today. She says it sounds like a lot to her. Plotnik and Ducknik tell her she "will always be our baby." It has the same amount of resonance as when Mummy P. says the same thing to Plotnik. It's wonderful to hear, but doesn't solve the immediate problem.
Everyone's in a hurry to get to be 16, but after that you can drive. Once you're driving, you have to pay for gas. This is the way it works.
The thing is, nobody wants to be heading into the home stretch rounding the clubhouse turn. You want a longer race, or, better yet, a rematch.
BZ, on the other hand, is ONLY 26! She's barely out of the starting gate.
At 26 Plotnik was married, childless, living in The Big Shmapple, writing songs and playing in clubs with his band. Who knew what would happen? Who expected The Great PunkyDunky and The Great BeezieWeezie? Who thought about moving back to Shmalifornia?
Nobody! That's who! Enjoy every second BZ, you've got kajillions of 'em, and you're going to use up a bunch in Linear Algebra and Micro-Something-Chemistry. What ever happened to Tap Dancing? Remember Tap Dancing?

26 is the new 16? The mid-20s are great years.
Our eldest turned 26 this year. Notthat was already a dad at 26. It is a great age! We were living in Bethesda, Maryland, wow seems like forever ago.
yes, but see, it's comments like "at 26 I was married..." and "I was a dad at 26..." that make this particular birthday pretty weird...
Hoping BZ comes back to read more....at 26, I was working with a bunch of puppets making pittance and living in an apartment. Heck, I'm 53 and still not married and have no kids(and still don't think I'm old enough for that!) BUT that leaves more time to brag on my niecy!
Hmmm and my verifcation word is haste...as in haste makes some folks married and parents too soon! Don't fret my dear BZ.
AND how about a tap class! Can you squeeze that in sometime soon?
