It really should be me...

..and I would not be attending any dumb state dinner where I would have to show off my over-60 arms and use the right fork. There are WAY too many other things I would be doing.

Window in Paris. 2008.

And most certainly I would be having a travelin' fool's time and might join in the dance.
