Dec 2024

I go for long runs to burn off stress.
I write in my journal.
I read. I'm currently reading about the Athens music scene. I'm a longtime fan of the B-52s & REM.
I listen to a lot of blues music. The blues speaks to me these days.
I watch football & hockey.
I go about my life: work, family, & friends.
And I drink beer. We all do what we have to, I guess.
