Elton John’s late 1970 release Tumbleweed Connection represents his second album of the year, dropping a scant six months after his breakthrough self-titled album made him a household name in the US. While the earlier album felt more like an early 70s “singer-songwriter” effort, generating three top-40 singles (including the smash “Your Song”), Tumbleweed Connection…
All right, this is news, so let’s talk about this. Surprising absolutely no one who’s been paying any attention to Run Disney for months now, it was announced on Tuesday May 27th that the newly christened Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend was in fact an actual thing, for real, no take-backsies, etc. Scheduled to occur…
Hi gang. I’ve been getting a lot of nice feedback from many people in regards to my 2014 Wings For Life World Run (Sunrise, FL) review. This event touched a lot of people and I’m entirely gratified to know I did some small part in getting the word out and encouraging people to get involved throughout…
Rating: 5.5 / 10 Here it comes, right? The moment where the movie reviewer (and bear in mind, that’s all I am — some dude reviewing a movie, not a ‘film critic’ by any means) tries to bolster their credibility by rattling off a list of like-minded films that they’ve seen and loved and analyzed…
Let’s talk about runs, for a moment. More specifically: Fun runs. Color runs. Neon runs. Dye runs. “Get yourself filthy!” runs. “Holy crap my armpits are still blue!” runs. “Have ridiculously goofy fun with your buddies until you wanna puke from a Goofy Fun Overdose and even THAT is still kinda fun because everything is…
Here’s a touch of personal back story to give this race review what nine out of ten fictitious bloggers call “The Hook” — something to reel you in. As usual, this is a bit of self-indulgence that adds little except for some local flavor to the proceedings. Anyway, back when I used to play football…
I’m seeing a huge upswing in traffic related to Disney running lately, so I thought I’d do the gentlemanly thing and help out all you awesome newcomers to some Disney related links on the blog. The main one is of course my Running Disney page, which makes a good starting point. But if you’d like…
OK so this is going to surprise absolutely NO ONE who follows this blog, but I just registered for Goofy’s Race and a Half Challenge. That’s a Half-Marathon on Saturday followed by a Full Marathon on Sunday, during the 2015 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. This makes perfect sense, because I am absolutely insane. But…
Hey, hey, we are The Monkees, you know we love to please A manufactured image with no philosophies… Jack Nicholson and Bob Rafelson wrote and produced the absurdist yet strangely (and often beautifully) endearing 1968 film Head. Directed by Rafelson, the movie takes The Monkees off the television screen and into their first cinematic adventure…
It’s the Grooviest 5K Run ever!! At least, that’s what they tell us. Whether or not the Dash From The Past 5K has earned that accolade is for the various Lords of Funk to decide (we meet quarterly at an Applebee’s parking lot), but I think the race makes for a strong contender. Dash From The Past…
