4.45 disco inferno.

Never underestimate the effect of music on a leaden atmosphere.

If you want to know what it's like living on a yacht, then move your family into the bathroom for the weekend.

I'm serious.

... our solution for those times is to pop on our "4.45 disco inferno" cd:

I start it off slowly,
Cooks' shoulders start rising to the beat,
Roo turns away from whatever he's doing,
I start tapping my feet,
Cooks' runs to turn it up,
Xave's hips start swingin'
Roo commands the starboard couch position,
and then IT'S ON FOR YOUNG AND OLD!

our playlist:

We are Family - Sister Sledge
Love Train - Keb' Mo'
California Gurls - Katy Perry
Could You Be Loved - Bob Marley
Let's Stay Together - Al Green
I Gotta Feelin - Black Eyed Peas
It's Your Thing - The Isley Brothers
I Wanna Be The Only One - Eternal
More Than A Woman - Bee Gees
Would I Lie To You - Charles & Eddie
Express Yourself - Charles Wright

Result:

an exhausted and happy boathold.
