West African dancing fool

I have learned many things since arriving here in Camerron, but I never expected to find out I was married to a west African dancing fool.
 
We went out to a bar where locals hang out to see dancers perform traditional tribal dances, mostly the Siko or Asiko tribe was represented. The dancers keep their upper body still, move their feet a little, but gyrate their belly and their pelvis in a way that Elvis would envy.
 
Well, after their impressive performance, they invite audience members one by one to join them on stage. And yes, a dancer invited Keith. He leaped up on stage and proceeded to do his version of the Siko dance. The Cameroonians went wild - screaming, laughing, clapping. He brought down the house.
 
I took a video of all this with my little camera. It's hilarious - grainy, dark and a little hard to see, but it is proof my husband is a west African dancing fool.

Hi.Sounds like you're having a blast.You will have to demonstrate your dancing skills here, Keith. We went to Brampton for New Year's Day, but when we got there we found out that they had cancelled because of the snowstorm. Grandma was bright. The roads were excellent on the way back. We have the kids here, fun. It's been -23, next week will be plus 7. Gek. Dad rented pipes for drainage, all our pipes are under 2 ice layers and 4 ft of snow.
Thanks for your updates!
Happy New Year! M&P
