I just watched this over at Sandra's blog,
and absolutely had to post it. It's silly
and joyful and made me Laugh Out Loud:

I'd seen coverage of Matt and his dancin' Odyssey, and when it started, I thought "I'll never watch 4 1/2 minutes of this - but I forgot time and loved every second!

My favorites were the one with the dog jumping around him and the one in India.
