Running with Alabama Shakes, Bradley Cooper and a bag of poop
I tried a new Pandora station for yesterday's afternoon run - Alabama Shakes radio. It opened with an Amy Winehouse song and never looked back. Good stuff.

I started … Continue reading Running with Alabama Shakes, Bradley Cooper and a bag of poop

If you're anything like me, you must occasionally observe the actions of others and wonder to yourself "Who are those people? Where are they from that they were taught that that sort of behavior was acceptable? Who raised them?!" There have been a few things in the news, and in my travels, recently that left … Continue reading Who are these people?
