I only had time for 2.5 miles this evening before the sun went down. It was in the teens outside. I ran as hard as I could without slipping on the icy roads. I bought a New Balance fleece that is unbelievably warm. I have had the attached song stuck in my head for 2 straight days. I woke up at 1AM with it bouncing around my brain. There is something about the rythym of this song that reminds "me" of "me." The artist is Ben Howard. The song is "Old Pine." The first part of the this song starts: "Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags, I've come to know that memories were the best things you ever had . . ." I get it. This song reminds me of my wife and the almost 20 years that I have been married to her.
Running. Music. Books. Football. Coffee. Trying new beers. New socks. The moon. Brick streets. I thank my God for knowing how to "give me my daily bread." All of this of course, over and above my wife, my kids and my family . . .
This is it . . .
