Okay, I want to see Tom Selleck on "Dancing with the Stars"!!! If Priscilla Presley (she's 62, right?) can do it, not to mention those comedians like Penn (of Penn & Teller) and Steve Guttenberg (TS contemporary and movie buddy from Two Men and a Baby) can do it, why can't TS? I've watched it a few times, and it is amazing to see what non-dancers can actually learn. I've never "called in" to vote, but if TS would do it, I WOULD call in to vote for him every time regardless of how bad he was. He's always been athletic and had the moves on MPI -- and the football players they use are usually surprisingly good, I understand.
Now, I know a lot of you are thinking this is WAY below dignified for our hero. But I can just hear his goofy laugh while practicing. Let's get him off the depressing Jesse Stone persona and back to having fun for a while.
Am I the only one who would enjoy this? If so, sorry, guys and gals!

Sounds like a winner to me.
I think also Jillie should be on.
Jillie and Derek and Tom and Julianne.
I really miss seeing him on friday nights, just think we could see him twice a week.
I would also vote for him no matter how he dances.

sophia,
What a GREAT idea!! That would be so much fun to see them competing "against" each other. What a hoot!! I imagine Jillie has a bit of dance background with her having been on the stage in "Cats." So I fear she would "smoke" him -- but it's about time for her to get some attention, I trow.
And, you're right, I rather miss my Friday night fix too, so I think maybe we're just desperate to see him again. And to see him with Jillie and see their personalities come to the fore in interviews and practice during the show . . . . What a treat that really would be!
I guess we can dream about this about as much as we dream about our ideal MPI movie with the original stars . . . .
In the meantime, we'll wait for SelleckLover's report on the fundraiser, which is what this thread is supposed to be about to start with. So back on track.
SL, we eagerly await your report. Can you take pictures and post them too?

Thank you for the well wishes Sophia and IH...I'm feeling better than ever now, though, because they placed another stent* in my right coronary artery. (That makes a total of 5 now!) I see my cardiologist this coming Wednesday for the OK to start Cardiac Rehab. If I can make it 6 months without any complications, that's a pretty good indication that I'm going to do well. Again thanks for the well wishes!
*A stent is a little stainless steel cage they use to open the clogged artery. It stays in the heart indefinitely. This is now done instead of a heart bypass operation.

Hey, guess what guys! I have good news and I have bad news.
Oh, you say you want the good news first? Okay. Well, my son called me today and informed me that he's taking me to see the play "Wicked" on Saturday May 10, as his Mother's Day present to me. (Orchestra seats even!) I've been wanting to see this for ages, and no one wanted to go with me to see it. For those of you that don't know, this play is based on the story of the Wizard of Oz and that is my favorite movie, excluding all Tom Selleck movies, of course! So I am thrilled to be going!
Ah, but this is a double edged sword! The bad news is that I won't be able to attend the fundraiser at the Coliseum.
Sorry guys, I was hoping to get some pictures for you!

Have a great time SL. My wife drug me to that play last year and I dunno, maybe it's a "woman thing" that I just don't understand because I have aways loved The Wizard of OZ as well, but I just didn't get the play. It was okay, just a bit too sappy for my taste. I will tell you this, the audience was chock full of women on girlfriend dates, Mothers and daughters and they all loved it! Funny thing is, my suspicions were proven last October when we went to a Chicago Bulls game, and at half time they had the two female leads sing a couple of songs from the play. There was a loud chorus of boos from the men in the stands when they finished and I know it was in bad taste, but I just looked at my wife and cracked up. I think I still have the bruise on my side from that elbow to the ribs!............LOL.....
Your son has my deepest sympahty, but seriously have a wonderful time.
