In our little commune, we have an intra-net that is used to communicate various information. Everyday we get a notice that the golf course is open. That’s something to look forward to - especially since I don’t play golf anymore. I quit when my golf score and my bowling score got to be the same.
Among the communications is a thing called, ‘community interest.’ This is like a bulletin board. People search for lost dogs and cats, sell used cars, or make announcements about events. This week we got a notice that the belly dancing class was canceled, but would resume in a couple of weeks. At first glance that seems innocent enough. But, the average age in this place is about 70, and that’s factoring in a number of young people that have moved in during the past year. So, the belly dancing class very likely consist of women in their mid to late 80s or even 90s. My financial controller said after reading the announcement, "I’d like to see some of those 90 year old women belly dancing." My reply was quick and simple.
"I wouldn’t."
