They all learn to do a good spin!
dandylion, you're EXACTLY right, lol. I didn't make that connection, but it IS a spin. So maybe my strategy is to keep thinking "SPIN, SPIN, SPIN"...bring it back around!" In my head, lol. Oh wait...isn't there a song lyric like this??
Yep:
"You spin me right round baby, right round. Like a record baby, 'Right round round, round"
from "You Spin Me Round", by Dead or Alive, lol
Let's see if I can sing to myself AND have a productive convo with AH 😊
