Billy Elliot, Sr.One day, in a mad terpsichorean fit, I gave a job order to a metal shop to produce a portable ballet barre suitable for the home. That way, despite advancing middle age, I could stretch night and day and stay as lithe as an Olympics gymnast.
The shop produced a bulky, overarmored chunk of metal bars more suitable for fending kangaroos off the grille of a speeding Australian road train. Plus, the top bar was so high it hurt to put my leg on it.
The barre found a useful second career as a clothes rack. Today, it's in the basement, bearing a load of lumber.
