Same here. I love my 1-2 hours of walking every day. I use the time to explore music on my iPhone, catch up on podcasts or just unplug and listen to the birds, crickets, etc. I have set walks throughout my neighborhood and it's fascinating to see the change of seasons happen before my eyes. Just this morning, I observed the colors changing in the trees as falling early autumn leaves cascaded around me. In a few months, I'll be observing the ponds and rivers ice up and the snow cover build.

Joggers never look like they are having fun. Always a grimace.

I think walking is a superior exercise to jogging/running.

I will definitely be on the trails more in the coming weeks. I'm going to have hours of new music to explore after last night's concert.

I attended Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival in Dallas last night. I was in my seat every minute of the 8 hour, 15 minute extravaganza...not even a rest room break (o/t, not unusual after my usual shift at UPS, where I shed a few pounds every day).

I'm kind of embarrassed to say that I have been locked into a musical time warp, staying in the 50s, 60s, and 70s as far as my music listening goes. That was one of the reasons why I bought a ticket, to see if there were any musicians I wasn't familiar with.

Acts that really jumped out at me were James Bay, Robert Randolph, Jonny Lang and Tedeschi-Trucks, and I was reacquainted with Robert Cray, Los Lobos, and Doyle Bramhall II.

It was undoubtedly the best concert I ever attended, the multitude and musical diversity of the performers was extraordinary. Throw in Bill Murray as the emcee of the event, and it added up to a spectacular evening of entertainment.
