Olivia Newton-John was one of the women of my teen years. I remember listening to “Physical” many times. Of course I was naive at the time. And I didn’t watch MTV, so this is the first time I’ve seen the music video for her song.
Brings new meaning to the words.
(How naive? I really liked the song “Dancing in the Streets” in the Footloose sound track and didn’t understand why she was so embarrassed that her dad caught her listening to it.)
It is in the low 80s as I write this. The sun has gone down, and it is starting to cool.
I have just finished my third or fourth “exercise” of the day. This was a crosscut, and then planing a 31×11 piece of pine flat. With a dull smoothing plane.
I feel like I spent an hour on the treadmill.
On the previous outing, I ripped a 5-foot length of 4 quarters pine. The fact that I did that by hand impressed me. The fact that it only took a few minutes even more so. I really don’t get it. A few weeks ago I was bitching that my saws were not cutting. Today my crosscut saw and my rip saw both were doing 3/4s of in inch or more with each stroke.
It was just a year or so ago that I first saw the movie “Grease”, though some of the songs were familiar. As a late middle aged man, I certainly enjoyed watching her dance. And sing… “You are the one I want” is excellent.
