Gchat Conversations With Frank Rosenthal...

Dad: I heard about the dance marathon. Did you dance?
Me: no, I covered it for the daily
Dad: I know you were covering it. But I thought you might dance to get more insight into the event.
Me: they're very protective of the dancers
Me: you have to escorted to the bathroom etc
Me: so you can't really cover it and dance
Dad: Oh. I thought it was just a bunch of people hanging out on the dance floor until the wee hours of the morning. I guess it's a more structured event. Were any records set?
Me: um maybe a record number of dancers
Dad: OK. Now I have to get back to work. (Us old folks tend to work in a pretty linear way.)
Me: what does that mean?
Dad: It means doing one thing at a time
Me: oh ok bye
