Click here in case you missed PART ONE of our amazing weekend epic running spectacular… HI! Welcome back. Hope you all enjoyed a good rest, maybe a nice nosh… I was jonesing for an egg salad sammich myself, but– OH. Right, Part II of our Keys100 100-Mile Team Relay review. THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES Let’s see…
On the weekend of May 17-19, 2013, seventeen fellow runners and I embarked on an epic amazing adventure so gargantuan in scope, Homer would have whistled an epic haiku about it. The empirical notion that ‘haikus’ are in fact prosaic and not musical is not lost on me. But if that grants you an air…
Click here for my review of Preservation: Act I. It goes deeper into the history of the project, its origins, production, release, and reception. You know, the worst thing you can say about Preservation: Act II (PA2 for the rest of this review) is that it really stinks, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.…
By 1973 Ray Davies seemed ready to wash his hands entirely of The Kinks; that is to say, The Kinks of the late 60s through early 70s. Or maybe just popular rock music as a whole. The band’s 1970 album Lola versus Powerman and the Money-Go-Round, Part One was a monster seller for the band and gave them some…
Let’s just keep this one simple. I have bronchitis 🙁 I’ve had it for a week now it doesn’t seem to want to go away. Because of massive chest congestion, I had to miss out on the ALS Recovery Fund 10K on Saturday, which was a massive bummer because it’s co-sponsored by dear friends of…
Paul McCartney’s 1970 solo debut album is a homespun, eclectic collection of songs that surprised (and somewhat delighted) many with its low-key charms.
Welcome to the second installment of Noshing in Wonderland, my inconsistently updated and sporadically interesting take on dining around the various Disney properties. I know several of you are thinking to yourselves right now: “What the hell happened to the FIRST installment?” Good question. You’ve got a lot of nerve, mister. Truth of the matter…
The First Great Kinks Album! OK well obviously that’s entirely up to debate and purely a matter of opinion, but wow if this album doesn’t deliver one fine listening experience. Everything — the songwriting, vocals, musicianship, album production — is elevated to an entirely new level with Face To Face. 1966 was a good year…
So Boots has started up a new blog. I say a new blog because she used to have an old blog, WAY back when from even before we started dating in 2005. I know this because I used to stalk her on it. I even stalked her old Dairyland blog as well. There’s something about…
There’s no word worth your life. I would rather work in a coal mine deep under the earth and never see sunlight and eat crusts and water and work twenty hours a day. I would rather do that than be dead. I would trade democracy for life. I would trade independence and honor and freedom…
