I rounded out this week of cold, winter running by listening to Bruce Springsteen’s, Devils & Dust album from 2005. He is one our great American storytellers. For all you millennials out there, if you want a glimpse of what life was like right before the age of internet and cell phones, before mass terrorism and shootings, in a little simpler time, then listen to his music and stories. It wasn’t all rainbows and sunshine; his music is rarely that, but it is pure and simple. Bruce Springsteen has an interesting biography that you can look up, which has shaped him from his childhood, his religion and his struggles […]

Over the last week there has been crazy weather, and also for me, a really bad cold that has put a stall in my running journey. I started out last week running with George Strait’s Troubadour album from 2008. It was a nice change from the alternative rock funk that I must have been in during the early 2000’s, according to my apparent CD selections at that time. This was now more my pace, and I think I found myself in that little piece of time.
