Elton John’s Madman Across The Water was released in early November of 1971, arriving in stores barely a year after his acclaimed 1970 masterpiece Tumbleweed Connection. Sir Elton was always nothing short of an absolute workhorse; he would continue his “album a year” pattern for a good long while afterward. This of course begged the…
Surprising absolutely no one who knows even the slightest bit about me, the truth remains that I am something of a techie nerd. Most of the time when I’m out of the house I’m usually packing a cellphone, tablet, various Bluetooth devices, iPod, and who knows what else. All of that portable hardware requires juice,…
Yes! More self-absorbed runner talk! Who’da thunkit coming from this blog? How excited are you to read all about my summer training pro– Well anyway… I get that this isn’t the most exciting and entertaining of subjects to my non-running audience… if I even have one. I’m not quite sure that it’s even of interest…
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…

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…
