One thing I know for sure
is that we will all move on. Many of us will dance our way
through this. We will continue to pursue our passions, our
dreams, and we will use our love of dance to renew our health,
both mentally and physically. So, if your feeling a bit stressed
out....grab your partner and do some dancing. It's what our
parents and grandparents did when times were tough.
Several times through out the year, Becky
and I will get together with our neighbor friends and go
out for a Friday night fish fry. If you live in Wisconsin,
you know what a fish fry is. If you don't know what a fish
fry is, well, you need to come to Wisconsin! Basically,
it's a Friday night ritual where you go out to a restaurant
for all-you-can-eat fish (baked or fried), French fries,
coleslaw, potato pancakes (with syrup), and an ice-cold
beer! Thank God it's not all-you-can-drink! All the women
sit on one end of the table and the guys on the other. We
tried boy-girl, boy-girl, but the conversation just didn't
seem to flow. They wanted to talk about shopping and bargains
and the new school principal.....we wanted to talk about
our jobs, football, and our latest escapades in home improvement....
MAN stuff! One of my buddies asked me if I thought America's
tragedy and the depressed economy would affect the dance
business. I really didn't even hesitate. The answer is no.
