Confessions of a Ballroom Addict

Another year is coming to a close. It’s the Holiday Season and time for parties, gatherings, fun and merry making. We want to wish you all a very safe and fun Holiday Season.

It’s been a good year for Debra and I. We’ve made new friends, continued our learning experience in dance, shared many experiences, joined more dance clubs, learned new dances, etc., etc. And, this brings to mind a YouTube video recently posted to Facebook by our friend and ballroom enthusiast, Yuko Yu, called Confessions of a Ballroom Addict. Some find it funny. Some find it amusing. Others find it boring. I find it kinda scary because it reminds me of someone close to me. :-) Anyway, I thought I’d share it with those of you who may not have seen it yet. Here's the link:

Just so we don’t get totally caught up in dance, Debra & I make it an effort to do other activities. We just did the Honolulu Marathon (I still have a slight pain in my right calf). Here’s a picture of Debra and fellow ballroom dancer, Jackson Cho, with our dancing friends, Lorrie & Mike Chun. (Mike used to be an avid marathon runner - did the Honolulu Marathon in the “3-hour range” - WOW ! He’s now retired from marathons, but came down from their home on the ridge, with Lorrie, to support and cheer us on - on our home stretch. June decided not to do the marathon with us this year, but came down to cheer us on earlier in Waikiki and again at the finish line. This was Jackson's 11th Honolulu Marathon.)

Debra & I also have a hike planned for this coming weekend, and the Great Aloha Run in February (come join us for the run). I guess we can consider this cross-training for dancing. :-) . . . there we go, everything ties back into dancing . . . scary. Nah, we do other activities.

Anyway, Happy Holidays Everyone !!! Have Fun. Be Safe. And, hope to see you soon on the dance floor. :-)

With Aloha,
Calvin & Debra
