A thoughtful gesture from a dear friend

My friend Michelle Downs did this a couple of weeks ago, and I regard it as one of the sweetest things anyone has done for me in a long time.

My first YouTube video

This is my long-anticipated foxtrot performance with Angie Hines, recorded by our daughter Vanessa, who sat with my wife in the audience. I wasn't perfect, but nothing about this experience discourages me from doing it again sometime. And I got some very good feedback for it as well. All in all, probably not too bad for a 54-year-old man who had scarcely danced a step in his life until less than a year ago.
