A
A few weeks before, my daughter, Vanessa, announced her planning to attend her boyfriend’s prom（舞会）. Georgia decided to give them dance lessons as a Christmas gift. She found a dance studio and called them.
“Are you sure you and your husband don’t want to take lessons with them?” the gentleman asked. “Th ere’s a discount for a second couple.”
“Well... ” My wife hesitated. “Why not?”
So we stood in the centre of the floor at Jimmy’s Dance Studio.
We started with the basic box step, a simple waltz for those who know how to dance. We practiced the steps facing each other but standing several feet apart. I held Georgia in my arms. My right hand held her waist, the left held her hand. The music began. I moved my left foot forward and stepped on Georgia’s toe. We stood, wa ited for the beat, and trie d again. Half way through the box, we stopped.
“Hold her firm!” The teacher came to our side. He grabbed my arm.
“Here! Put your arm around her waist! Hold her hand with the other! Don’t move it. Keep it firm! You have to guide her!”
The music sounds again. We got through the full box without stumbling(撞到) or stepping on each other. Compared to the instructors, we looked like two kids dancing for the first time. We were awkward, but we learned.
Several weeks later, something happened. Georgia and I began to flow across the floor. Our awkwardness was gone. We were partners. We were one. It took a lot of practice and time, but we did it. We became a team. We anticipated each other’s moves and interpreted the slightest signal from the other. What seemed hard before became natural.
Once we learned how to dance, we looked at our relationship. I wanted to go right, she went left: when to mow the lawn, how much to spend on a car, where our vacations should be spent, and all things couples struggle with. We applied what we learned in class. Once we got the steps down, we danced through life

Ancestor worship is a Chinese tradition dating back thousands of years. A Chinese holiday, celebrated on April 4th or 5th, is the Ching Ming Festival.
Also known as the Grave-sweeping or Spring Remembrance, Ching Ming ("clear and bright"), is when Chinese families show our respect by visiting the graves of our ancestors to clear away weeds, touch up gravestone inscriptions and make offerings of wine and fruit.
There are many Ching Ming rituals which include pulling out weeds around the headstone, cleaning the stone and replacing withered or dead flowers with fresh ones. People also burn incense and paper money. The paper money is for the departed to use in the afterlife. You'll even see food arranged on headstones but it's not a picnic. The food is an offering to the spirits. Three sets of chopsticks and three Chinese wine cups are also placed above the food, close to the headstone.
Other rituals include family members pouring wine on the grave or setting off firecrackers to scare away evil spirits. The firecrackers also let departed loved ones know we're there to pay our respects. Legend has it that unhappy spirits wander the earth on Ching Ming day. It's considered bad luck to do important business or have an operation on April 5th. Stick to hanging out in the cemetery and offering your ancestors food and fake money.
