I used to put a stash of candy bars in the freezer. I’m not sure where this practice came from, but I would eat hard frozen Snickers, Milky Ways and Three Musketeers.

I recently read a blog from A Sound Day that cited a study that we stop listening to new music … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Back in Black – AC/DC

So when friends from work wanted to sign up for a half marathon, I thought no way. I was about 25 pounds … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Running to Stand Still – U2
