Building on our first feel-good story of the day — "$64,000 Raised So Far For Homeless Man Who Turned In $42,000" — here's another:
Ellie Cole, a 35-year-old British woman who became known this year as "the dancing queen of the bus stop" after surreptitiously captured video of her smooth moves went viral, has since been invited to be part of a performance of the London musical AH Men.
She talked about her good fortune on NBC-TV's The Today Show.
What you really want to see, though, is the original "Eastleigh's Got Talent — The Dancing Queen of the Bus Stop."
By the way, Cole wasn't listening to ABBA's "Dancing Queen" when she was at the bus stop that famous day. She was listening to the Alesha Dixon song Knock Down.

$64,000 Raised So Far For Homeless Man Who Turned In $42,000
This week's feel-good story of the homeless man in Boston who found a backpack containing $42,000 in cash and travelers checks and then turned it into authorities is developing into an even better tale.
An online fundraiser to collect money for that Good Samaritan, who we now know is named Glen James, had raised nearly $64,000 as of 9:20 a.m. ET Wednesday.
The "Boston Homeless Man Reward" campaign was launched by Ethan Whittington of Midlothian, Va., who hasn't met James, but felt compelled to see if other Good Samaritans would "help this man change his life."
James was honored this week by the Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis "for his extraordinary show of character and honesty."
The Globe adds that "in his statement, James wrote about how he found the money and a bit about himself. He had worked at a courthouse for 13 years as a file clerk, he said, before being fired. On Monday, the courts could not immediately confirm his employment. James could have gotten another job, he said, but he suffers from an inner-ear disorder that causes prolonged vertigo spells."
The money he found last weekend belonged to a student from China who was visiting Boston. It was returned to the student.
