My best bear bud could have been a star.  But he blew it.

Holland America has some partnership with Dancing with the Stars to do Dancing with the Stars at Sea, where they teach you a routine and you compete to win.

So we went.  And Nick and Pokin learned the foxtrot.  They didn’t hurt each other, and were even chosen by the judges to compete.

And then they wussed out.

So I lost my one and only chance to say my best bear bud was a minor celebrity on a cruise. Weak.

Instead we ended up just sitting in the front row to watch the finalists instead.

Not good enough, bear bud.  Show some courage next time.  I would have danced in a flash if they only had partner dancers my size!
