Tom update isn’t good. His back is better but he’s decided he just can’t continue with the Dancing With The Mariner Stars competition. He is really disappointed. The routine he and Louise were doing was REALLY good but did require lots of physical athleticism. During their act there was a cute show-stopper where Tom did a Chuck Berry move jumping across the stage on one leg as he pretended to be playing a guitar. He feels that if he cut out some of the best, more difficult parts of their routine he’d look like a Wayne Newton. Betty loaned him a heating pad and Carol gave him a back brace which are both helping but it’s still sensitive. He hurt his back riding the ATV in Moorea and all the hours of practice just continued to aggravate it. He is sooooooo disappointed but I assured him he’ll always be my “Star”.

On a happier note, our cocktail party last night was lots of fun. The food was in Joanna and Tony’s suite, the bar was set up in our suite. It was great all being together!
