    Dance Lessons

    (Raises hand.) To be fair, though, my problem was never dancing with strangers. Even blues and Argentine tango (dances where you are connected from your shoulder to your thigh) are just dances to me, nothing more. But I do get nervous dancing with or in front of people who are way better than I...

    Book of Etiquette Vol. I and Vol. II by Lillian Eichler (1921)

    A bachelor dinner or yachting party, I can picture. But I'm having a hard time imagining a bunch of guys getting together tea and "delicate sandwiches."

    Book of Etiquette Vol. I and Vol. II by Lillian Eichler (1921)

    Some people might think a chaperon sounds old fashioned. But given the damage that can be done to a man's reputation, rightly or wrongly, it might not be such a bad idea today.

    Dance Lessons

    The approach I take in class is to not do anything until my partner leads it, even if I know what I'm supposed to do as the follow. One more reason for following instead of back-leading or just knowing the motions: Suppose your partner is in the middle of a move and sees that you're about to...

    Dance Lessons

    Ben, I stongly suggest taking lessons. There are weight shifts, leading techniques, and dozens of little details that will improve your dancing, but you won't learn them just from watching. I also suggest dancing with a variety of people. Why? Leading and following is a language. When you...

    Happy Independence Day

    So 200 years after the Revolution, an Englishman asks an American, "Now that you have taxation with representation, how do you like it?"

    I thought of Doris Day, too, but isn't she still around?

    Whom would you invite to your home?

    I was thinking about Jimmy Stewart also. He was not only a real gentleman, but also a pilot and, everyone says, a down-to-earth person (no pun intended).

    what if you could travel back in time but could never return?

    This makes me think of the spoof of the song "Pennies from Heaven" called "Benny's from Heaven." "I know Benny's from heaven 'cause Benny's not from me." When my sister's husband hit her, our brother cleaned his clock...only to find out he hit her because she'd been running around. Sometimes...

    Older women with younger men and VICE-VERSA!

    I don't think that people automatically improve with age.

    Big Weddings, are they still around?????

    That's always been my feeling about it, too. I'd much rather have that for a nest egg. Since I don't have any plans to get married, I've been saving for a trip to Hawaii for my 40th birthday. :D

    My noir short story is complete for anyone who wants to read it :)

    As someone who was ripped a new one today (in part for something I should have done better, but in part for doing my job), I can appreciate this. I'm taking the criticism in a spirit of trying to improve myself. However, the person who delivered the criticism helped set the tone at the place...

    Big Weddings, are they still around?????

    The couple getting married at the justice of the peace and then having a wedding reminds me another phenomenon: married couples having weddings. In the case of the couple in France, though, there must have been some legal reason since the ceremonies were so close together.
