Oktoberfest With Susan And George

I went to Oktoberfest with my sister Susan and brother-in-law George this afternoon down on Denver's Larimer Street.  When the polka band started playing "Just Because," one of polka master Frankie Yankovik's greatest hits, Susan became all nostalgic. She recalled how our mother and father would sit in the living room of our house in the Brainerd neighborhood of Chicago some evenings listening to Yankovik's albums on the hi-fi (the predecessor of today's stereo).  They never did dance the polka, however.  Probably a good thing.  I would have hated to see them have an accident and fall out the picture into the front yard. Not only might they have hurt themselves, but the neighbors would have talked about it for years.  What can I say?  We have never been a family of dancers.
