I think most of my favorite dance tunes are in a minor key. Fortunately, George Michael is cheering me right up. No, I&#8217;m not stocking my closet with glitter for my coming out party. I think I&#8217;ll listen to Swing Out Sister next. &#8220;Breakout&#8221; always cheers me up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m usually not this tired at the gym on Mondays, but I was dragging around today.
