My favorite golf partners finally confronted me with "Sidney, what is going on?" Without hesitation I replied, "Friends, there are three good reasons why I would rather dance than play golf. I would rather swing a pretty lady around the floor, especially my favorite partner Carol, than pound a gold club into the ground. Two, the weather does not prevent me from dancing and three, nobody's keeping score."
"The person who gives when they are asked has waited too long."
I am a social dancer because I love it. I enjoy watching competition dancers and I enjoy watching dance teachers do demonstrations with their talented students, but my real joy comes from social dancing. Though dance class can be hard or easy, it is always fun. It is wonderful spending so much more time with Carol. But whether it is Carol, or my favorite 80 year old lady or any of my other neat ladies, I dance with, I dance what I see.

I see a sparkle in their eyes, a smile and glow on the face of someone who has left the cares and concerns of the world somewhere else - just for the dance. And I can't help but break out in a laugh when among the many funny things that happen in a dance class, Foster will catch my eye and say, "Use the other left foot, Sid."
"Young At Heart" by Frank Sinatra
Over the years, I have carried any worries and my physical aches and pains to the Golf course and played badly. I carry them to the dance floor and they disappear. Golf is a great game; social dancing is a great life. I don't ever want to lose "my other left foot."
Pub's Note: His wife is Carol.
