I’m going into my fourth week of diet and training. I work out at the Power House Gym a few blocks away from me. I’m up to twenty minutes of good, hard cardio on the elliptical machine. I’m not pumping huge amounts of iron just yet, but I am doing a lot of reps with a small amount of weights. I feel absolutely great! I should have done this months ago, but it’s never too late. My entire outlook has changed, and I feel positive and strong.
Lately I have been going back in time, digging up some of my favorite music from the 80’s. I have already shared a lot of Elvis Costello, and if it’s not already obvious, I worship the guy. There were a lot of great bands that came from that decade—Joe Jackson, Squeeze, the B-52's, and a slew of others—but Elvis Costello was by far and away the most intellectual and had the most to say about the world around him. He is a genius, but his best work was in the early 80’s.
I’d like to share an old classic that rocked my world when I first heard it. Love Shack¸ by the B-52's. A great song, but then again, they had a lot of great songs, and their music had its own feel. Going back in time is so much fun when you are reliving the good times. Best to let go of the bad and hold on to what was right and good.
Love to all!
