I've arrived San Francisco for four nights of dancing before I get on my cruise ship next Tuesday. The first leg of the trip was DCA to Phoenix and then change planes.

As the plane taxied to the gate, I saw "TANGO" in bright letters on a purple colored Air Candada plane. On the wing was its web page "www.flytango.com." (I hope I got it right.)

The good news is If I can't DANCE tango, at least I can FLY tango!! What a relief!! There's still hope for me yet.

Now, I wonder if the pilots need special FAA certification to fly the plane. Most planes take off on "parallel" engines. I don't think it would be good to take off on "cross"engines.

However, on landing, its very important to land on "cross" engines so that the plane builds up reverse thrust so as not to run off the runway.

I can even imagine ground control giving instructions to the plane on landing. "Tango 137, walk down runway 21 and do a molinete on taxiway 2. Go to gate B4 and give it a gancho."

Enjoying my vacation in San Fran

Won't see home until September 11

P.S. For those who inquired, I made a mistake on my dental tango message. The dentist put in a temporary crown on the date I wrote. It fell out and a new temporary was put in. The permanent crown was put in last Thursday. During the anesthesia from the novocaine, the dentist told me the tooth next to it also needs a crown. Isn't it wonderful. I'm told after I get novocaine I need more dental work.

Dentistry is just like taking tango lessons. I'm NEVER finished.



I'd rather be dancing argentine tango
