blast indeed!  i especially like

http://picasaweb.google.com/paswango/Nancy/photo#5220346819203778242

those boots are made for walking!

speaking about daughters, i showed my 3 year old daughter the 1967
TV special 'Movin with Nancy' and she was hooked.  when it was over
she made me play it from the beginning, and many times afterwards.
it sure beat teletubbies.
