At this odd time in my life, a woman my age asked me to meet her at a bar where there was dancing.

For many years, I turned down such offers but from my studies of Buddhism, I decided turning down invitations showed a lack of grace. Short of having nothing else on my dance card, I accept as many offers as I can.

A beautiful woman suggested I meet her at a bar where live music was being played. About the closest I've come to this in real life was watching "Urban Cowboy" on cable television in the 1990s. (For the record, there were no mechanical bulls in this joint but there were a number of people whom I could attempt to ride until they threw me off.)

I went.

I attended.

After ordering a drink, this pretty person grabbed my corpse-cold hand and drew me to the tiny dance floor. From memory, I grasped one of her hands and put the other on her back. The music started and I shuffled my feet back and forth, as much as two inches at a time. Some wild ass music was played, something like Billy Joel slowed to a funereal pace. 

"I ... don't ... care ... what you say ... anymore ... this is my life."

I tried to dance, to sway to the music or respond to the movement of my dance partner.

I had visions of Lurch from "The Addams Family" laughing at me in his deep voice.

The pretty lady ended up holding my two hands, similar how parents dance with slow children.

I tried. 

Honest to God I tried.

But I haven't attempted to dance in at least a couple of decades. I'm not good at it, I don't feel the music as others do and finally I fear hurting myself given my advanced age. One misstep and I'm on workman's comp for six months.

She was quite gracious and finally asked, "Are you afraid?"

I said yes and she switched to a partner who appeared to be a strapping Mennonite buck.

I powdered and made my way home.

Peace unto Ukraine and peace and the powder to all of my brothers and sisters.

    You probably danced better than I could have. Maybe you don’t have to be open to ALL invitations!

    Hi, first, I'm 66 and just learning; thanks to team XAP Credit Solution, all the benefits of using CC. I wish I'd know y'all when I was younger!!! Anyway, I am happy you’re able to boost my score from 490 to 790 in less than a few days without asking for an extra penny. All the collections, charge offs, eviction and lien were expunged from my report. I am able to get a very high limit of Amex credit cards and I also got qualified for a mortgage loan. This wouldn’t have been possible without XAP. I have an excellent report with great tradelines. You can contact XAP via: xapcreditsolution@gmail.com or +❶ (❽⓿❶) ❾❽❽ ❾❽❾⓿.

    Recording success in Cryptocurrency.. Bitcoin is not just buying and holding till when bitcoin sky-rocks this has been longed abolished by intelligent traders mostly now that bitcoin bull is still controlling the market after successfully defended the $20,000 support level once again and this is likely to trigger a possible move towards $40,000 resistance area However it is best advice you find a working strategy by hub/daily signals that works well in other to accumulate and grow a very strong portfolio ahead. I have been trading with Mr Mark Toray’s daily signals and strategy on his platform and his guidance makes trading less stressful and more profitable despite the recent fluctuations I was able to easily increase my portfolio in just 3weeks of trading with his daily signals growing my 0.9 BTC to 2.9BTC. Mr Toray’s daily signals are very accurate and yields a great positive return on investment. I really enjoy trading with him and I’m still trading with him He is available to give assistance to anyone who love crypto trading and beginners in bitcoin investment I would suggest you contact him through mail marktoray8@gmail.com or telegram @mark4toray bitcoin is taking over the world

    What more can I say than a sincere appreciation to HACK JOE CREDIT SPECIALIST haven fixed my credit just when I thought I had no chances of a better credit score considering my situation then. I had a car loan that shows a repo, credit score (486 TransUnion and 512 Equifax), student loans, late payment and collections for a total of 3 accounts for decades that never go away, and hard inquiries when I was trying to get approval for car loan. Few days after I subscribed to the services of this credit specialist having contacted the company via HACKJOE127@GMAIL.COM, my score jumped to (752 TransUnion, 769 Equifax), hard inquiries, student loans, car loans and late payments all cleared, 2 positive trade lines were also added to my credit report. All these I confirmed after receiving an updated copy of my credit report.
