2 down, 178 to go!

Tuesday, January 29.  On day two I apparently didn't feel quite as inspired, and I became a little worried about being able to come up with enough new things to do for 6 months as I rolled over in bed this morning.  After checking out my portfolio, email, and weather.com, I decided to have some coffee and watch some morning tv.  I caught the tail end of the Today Show, and the my inspiration for today came to me in the form of Ellen.

Now I love Ellen and always enjoy watching her talk show when I have a chance.  Lately and because not a lot of folks want 9am golf lessons outside in Michigan at this time of year, I've had a lot of opportunities to catch her show.  And yes, I am a full-time teaching professional.  I've taught golf for over 10 years now and I enjoy it immensely.  I am very busy in the spring, summer and early fall, not so busy now.  And that suits me just fine.

Anyway, I find Ellen to be very funny.  And if you've ever watched the show, you know that at the beginning of the show, after a short monologue and hello, it's time to dance.  She then proceeds to dance with her audience as a way of starting the show.  It's fun.  Today, I danced with her.  Got out of bed and danced through the house with Ellen.  I felt a little foolish at first but then I started to get my groove on and really enjoyed it.  I enjoyed it so much that I decided to dance some more, alone in my pajamas, to 'Come on Eileen' by the Dexy's Midnight Runners.  By the end of my two song set, I was a little winded but smiling.  Not a bad way to start my day, and definitely something I'd never done before!
