I confess, I enjoy watching Dancing With the Stars. It’s my one reality show weakness, though I use the word “reality” loosely, because it isn’t very. Real, I mean. Whatever. It’s fun to watch. Once school’s done I’m sure I’ll get back in the groove of stitching and watching it over the top of my cheaters. However, I have a question about this season’s cast. Who ARE these people? Is it just me? Am I so out of touch with modern pop culture that I don’t even recognize half the names on the cast list? And of the ones that I recognize, I have to wonder…stars? Ummm, methinks maybe not so much. Donny Osmond probably comes as close as any of them to being a “star”; the others are a motley combination of the moderately famous, the not so famous, and the marginally familiar (“I think I recognize the face but…”). Plus Tom DeLay. Tom DeLay. What a hoot! Famous? Infamous? All of the above? Although I saw one of his dances the other night and you know, he did a pretty good job!

Oh well, that’s enough useless rambling for today. I suppose I think about drivel like this to keep my mind off scary things like global warming, health care and the traffic on the Parkway. TTFN
