About Today: The Dance

From Bob Schulties, your About Today Editor

While we were sitting around coming up with ideas for the newsletter, someone suggested I write about school dances. I don't remember the rest of the conversation, because all I could think about was who I'd take to a dance. There's no way Mrs. Bob is going dancing with me after what happened last time.

Do You Remember Your School Dance?

I remember my first dance at school. The band was great, the punch was cold and the girl I took ended up marrying the science teacher. Not everything has a happy ending. How did your first dance go?

The Dances You've Done

One of the benefits of a big party with all sorts of libations is that memories can be a little fuzzy, so you can dance the night away without the fear of remembering what Bob did last night. What I'm getting at is: there was a lot of dancing at my wedding. And because of video cameras, I regret each slide, bump and hop.

Turning Off the Screens

I'm interrupting our dancing newsletter for this public service announcement: it's Screen-Free week now so that...Wait! Not for you! At least not until you are done reading. So, no iPods or iPads. No Pinteresting or Facebook. Nope, no Instagram and no TV watching! Besides, the news is depressing and so much TV is inappropriate these days. Well, go on! Turn it off!
