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. I decided to hang here awhile, and continued this week with Kenny Chesney’s Hemingway’s Whiskey, from the more recent 2010. Ahhh… […]

I completed my running journey this week by listening to One EskimO’s Shrangri La from 2009. If you like to dream, think, and generally wander while running, then this is the album for you.

The doctors had said I might not be able to have children; but I knew that God, the Creator of all Life, could give me a baby if He wanted. And He did. Happy 17th Birthday John McCusker. You are blessed.
