On January 8, 2009 my world became a lesser place,
a more uncertain place,
one less homing beacon,
a place with one less lighthouse,
one less guiding star for this unique journey which is life;
a place where the compass no longer always points to true north.
My world lost my closest friend, my brother, James Thompson Riffe (Tom).

Paul and Kathi "Dancing with the stars"

CLick HERE for an image gallery of the evening's festivities>

The Dancing With The Start tour was coming to Greensboro and the Fred Astaire Studio was the site of the first round of the NC installment of the Slim Fast Ballroom Dancing competition.

The competition consisted of the preliminary round at the studio, then the night of the big show the 10 finalist couples woul be on stage for 2 rounds of group competition. From these two rounds, 2 final couples would be chosen to perform alone on the floor for the honors of being the NC Slim Fast dance champions. THe Studio asked us if we would concider competing

Although we had never before taken part in a competition we decided to make a go of it. After the first round we found ourselves in the top 10. We were pleased. We decided to take Friday off and practice a bit ( something we rarely do). Nature had other plans. I spent the day in the ER giving birth to a kidney stone while kathi listened to me make up words that will not be found in Websters.

Saturday night rolled around and the adrenaline ws overporwering the soreness from Friday and we felt good going onto the stage.The first round was the Cha-Cha. It went very well and we were pleased with our performance.

The competition ws stiff and I chose a spot on the floor FARTHEST away from the judge ( rookie mistake ). We did not make it to the second round but we were still pleased with the evenings events.

Since we were part of the show we got table seats 1 row back from the dance floor and the show was amazing.

A night we will not soon forget.
