The instructor at step class was asking this morning if anyone had heard of Tom Jones recently, she wondered what he looks like lately. A couple of people attested that he seems to be doing really well and is in good shape. I guess a particular song made her think of the singer/entertainer. Then she asked a young girl in the room if she knew who Tom Jones was and she shook her head, that she hadn't. We had a good laugh, he must be about 70 years old by now and of course, the younger generation would not know him! The instructor explained that her mom was a big fan.
At the mall today, I heard some honking of horns, then I saw a minivan slowly back into the side of a car. Then a couple of irate people walked up to the minivan driver and shouted rather loudly 'are you deaf or something?', then 2 other people approached and screamed back 'he is, actually'. Then I noticed the van was parked in the handicapped spot. The car didn't seem to have much damage, luckily. But what a screaming match, that was more alarming.
I got new pencil cases, dividers and binders for the kids and met a mom from K's old school in the store by chance. L has a birthday party to attend on Saturday, so I picked up a gift for her friend. She's happy that Nadal is back playing at the U.S. Open today.

Lol, I went to see Tom Jones at cardiff a few years ago, he's still got it you know :)
Tom Jones is cool and still rocking at his age! Heh heh, I almost forgot this singer already!
I remember Tom Jones quite well.... sort of a Welsh Elvis... sort of. I remember It's Not Unusual and What's New Pussycat?
Hello stranger, here I am to catch up. Tom Jones. I must say I like his voice. Now he has had plastic surgery, is very tanned, still very trim and has let his hair go grey which is something. I think he is still touring but no way looks 70. He was only 16 when his son was born so his son manages him. His wife on the other hand looks like his grandmother. And I know way too much about Tom Jones....
Ok, there is a Chicane song I like that features Tom Jones. It's called "Stoned in Love": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaDwNKM8Fso
