We watched this documentary last night (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454944/) about Cowboy Jack Clement who was a songwriter and producer that worked with Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Charlie Pride, and John Prine (plus many many others).  Really good stuff, you should check it out.

And now I’m listening to John Prine and Waylon Jennings.

The Crystal Method - Busy Child: Remixed Version

Mike and I saw these guys live a couple of times and it was awesome. You might not think an electronic act would put on a good show, but it was great.

10.5 miles up the trail. 45 minutes, 14.6 avg MPH. Was a good workout. Felt a lot better tonight than I have recently when riding in the evenings. I have a big problem with not getting enough to eat before that evening ride so I often feel pretty crappy before I get on the bike.

Tomorrow I’m going to try getting on a weekly strength workout schedule. Brief ride to warm up, then upper body workout. We’ll see.

We had a pretty good weekend around here. We had dinner together on Friday night then I played cards at Mike’s, which was a good time. On Saturday morning I rode in the “Bike the C-Bus” tour around Columbus. I had a really good time and rode about 32.5 miles. I really like riding in the city. It is much more interesting than riding out in the country. I believe this was the first year for the tour, so there were a couple of minor hiccups, but no big deal.

On Saturday night we had a good time with some co-workers of Holly, and Sunday we had lunch with D’Arcy, Heather, and some of Heather’s family.

I’m sitting watching “The Civil War” on PBS, even though I’ve seen it a couple of times. I’ll read for the rest of the evening then hit the ground running in the morning.

Hope you all are doing well.
