Putting “Getting Fit and Healthy” into Perspective
An interesting comment at Worlds, sparks some deep thought and a very long blog post…
While I was at the World Championships of Country Western Dance, I pretty much cornered anyone who would listen to me for more than 60 seconds and regaled them with my “plans for the coming year.”
Side note: for those of you who want me to get to the point without my usual “Tony Ramblings” *ahem* Today’s topic is:
“trying to come up with an analogy that accurately encompasses the magnitude of someone’s effort to ‘get fit and healthy'”
But saying it that concisely just sounds way to scholarly for my taste. And it is Borrrring! And way *not fun* and way “too brief”, so back to the ramblings of Tony’s Brain as I set up the picture for you. 🙂
So, at Worlds, I “trapped” lots of people and forced them to watch me make like Tigger as I bounced around in excitement and effused about my plans for the coming year!
Just in case you don’t know who Tigger is watch this video:
This enforced captivity on the part of my listeners at Worlds usually started off with the innocent and alluring sounding statement
“Did you hear my good news? I won a spot on the US DanceSport Team! China here I come!“ then…

After a week of drama in Nashville, “New World Champion” sounds pretty good!
Worlds was a Roller Coaster Week
For those who like it brief… First the two big bits of news:
1. My dance partner and I won the Couples Silver II division and we are brand new “World Champions”
2. I won a spot on the US Team to attend the WDSF World DanceSport Games to be held in Kaohsiung, Taiwan in Sept 2013.
Those of course would be a couple of “high spots” on the proverbial roller coaster. I had fun, of course but since when has my life ever been a drama free zone? Hmmmm?
Well, friends, neighbors and all eight of you actually reading this, let me give you the play-by-play. Read the rest of this entry
