I may have said this before, but I love Mumford & Sons.  I really do.  Their music makes me want to jump up and stomp and dance and clap and sing at the top of my lungs.  Here’s ANOTHER song from their latest album, Babel.  

Verse 3 really applies to me physically today…   I am weary and heavy laden, bruised and broken.  Nike Women’s Marathon proved quite challenging today, though it may have had something to do with my anticipating the hills more than I should have.  Friends have told me that these kinds of events are more head gamesContinue reading “366 Day Project-Day 288-Come Ye Sinners”

This time tomorrow, I hope to be celebrating the completion of another half-marathon, the Nike Women’s, in San Francisco.  I’m gonna collect my little blue box from a tuxedoed SF firefighter and I’m gonna be a very happy girl.  So, let’s go!!  

Leo Kottke is playing downtown tonight.  Had planned to go see him, but time and money got away.  I got to see him in concert many years ago.  He was performing with the late Michael Hedges and it was a most amazing evening.  I was fascinated by their different styles.  Michael was all over theContinue reading “366 Day Project-Day 286-Vaseline Machine Gun”

So… the Taylor Swift madness has passed… and I’m back.  Thank you, thank you, good to be back.  What better way to celebrate my return to… me… than my beloved Mumford & Sons.  This is a bonus track from the deluxe version of their latest album, Babel.  

Kelly Clarkson has a new single, just released as a prelude to her Greatest Hits-Chapter 1 album release in November.  I now know what I can get Mandy for Christmas…

Ojala is a perfect way to sum up today.  It, at the most basic level, means “I hope,” “I wish.”  But on a more profound level, it expresses a strong desire submitted to God’s will.  It’s root is Arabic, Insha’Allah which means “If God wills.”  I love that.  And so, I will end all ofContinue reading “366 Day Project-Day 282-Ojala”

 

Well, I’m doing it again.  I’m preparing for tomorrow when I rise early and join about 14,000 others on the streets of San Jose for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon.  Bags all packed and heading out, I’m ready to fly.  Ok, walk-jog, then.  But it doesn’t sound the same… I’ll be posting pics ofContinue reading “366 Day Project-Day 280-Fly”
