shutitdown: livin' for the anecdote

<< shutitdown: taking one for the anecdote

Who's your daddy boss?

The day I was leaving New York, my brother saw Tony Danza skulking about on my grandparent's street. I was rather bitter, as I am sure you can imagine--it's been a lifelong dream of mine to "chill" with Admiral Danza. I tried corresponding with him through this page a number of times over the past few years, to no avail. Tony's heart was not to be won so easily.

Do you remember Tony's soft shoe act? He did it maybe twice during the many years of Who's the Boss? One night at 4 am I was watching Saturday Night Live reruns, and Tony Danza was hosting. He produced some witty banter, and then whipped out his tap shoes and went to town. I wasn't sure if I was actually watching the show or if it was just some beautiful dream that I would inevitably be torn from by the cold grip of reality. For that moment, that brief second, I was truly happy.

Iris,
One of my only true regrets in life is our tickets to see Tony Danza. Whenever I get depressed and start summing up all of my failures, which are many in number, that show in AC is near the top of the list.

Post pics of the Halloween costume, please.

I'll never forgive that two bit broad who foiled our "Danza Live in AC plans." My greatest regret (and there are a lot of them) is never having seen Tony Danza in Atlantic City.
BTW, I was Angela Bower/Judith Light for Halloween.

TINA! Post the picture. I'm so jealous.

Happy Holidays Lina
May all your Danza dreams come true

unrequited love always
Michael
