Tippy toes
Went to my regular Friday night dance on -- you guessed it -- Friday night. There was a Filipino nurse there. Cute, just as bright as a Democratic dime; you know, the ones that had real silver in them. Sweet young thing (at my age, anybody who was born after the Korean War is a sweet young thing). And tiny: You probably couldn't get into three digits if you added her age and her weight.
She was there with her family: Mom, Dad, Aunt, and Miscellaneous Female Relative of Undetermined Kinship. Great dancer; could follow even me, something none of my wives did in any endeavor. So, I danced with her, and then danced with Mom, and with Aunty, and with MFRUK, just so I could get on her good side. Would have danced with Dad, too, except he looked like the sort who would have insisted on leading. About the third time I danced with the snugglebunny, she looks up and asks, breathlessly, "Are you a dancing instructor?"
Now, I've been all the way to Valdosta, GA, participated in three Mexican goat-ropings, won an American Legion junior high essay contest, and once shook the hands of both Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, but I may never attain a higher plane than I did Friday night. Come my tango lesson this week, I don't care how many women pointedly take off their sandals and put on steel-toed hiking boots before partnering with me; they'll not be able to touch the real me that is floating like thistledown across the floor. Thistledown trapped in a 220-pound barrel of a body with a washtub butt, it's true, but thistledown nonetheless.

Congratulations! Sounds utterly delightful.
Always a business card, never a pen (unless it is in addition to aforementioned card). Pens (and other promotional items) tend to get lent or misplaced.
We're wishing you the best, Sir Hugh!
