This one guy died 40 years ago of undetected coronary artery disease but all nonrunners say that. And “You’ll hurt your knees”.

Well, he is not "just one guy" when it comes to running in the Us. As for the other, my knees already hurt, so I spared myself the running and still achieved the same result, so bonus for me!

I so miss running. My wife convinced me to stop because of the chronic heel pain it was causing -- I want to be walking decades from now. But I really miss it.

Funny story. I had knee pain in 2018. Went to an ortho. He said I’d never run again but elliptical and bike would be fine. I did both. Knee hurt worse.

One day I decided, I was going to run. Five miles in it stopped hurting. 1012 straight days of running nearly 6k miles (with no elliptical and little bike) it’s been great. The only times it hurts is when I sit with my knees higher than my butt.

I had my knee surgically repaired in 1992 and the only time it hurts is when I'm on a chairlift that doesn't have a footrest.

This is indeed impressive. I run every other day - I get dead legs if I do any more.

What a dumb move by Achilles' mom to only dunk 97% of him into the river.

Dude. You also lost weight since being a Rock Star. And are still a fucking hero to me, Less and Ollie.

When we did that Guessing of the "band" between all of our East Coast and West Coast go-to's was Epic. Less thought you were in Fear, Ollie thought (K- feel free to correct me) you were in Agnostic, I swore the CJs.

Damn, just even thinking about this is fun.

My beloved "Catrin Darcy" and I will be visiting next week from San Francisco back to my NYC.

We will be at wonderful great and bar/restaurant - the Elgin - at 6pm on Weds 3/8.

If anyone wants to stop by to say hello, please do. If only to raise a glass to Flower.

SNM

(and to answer Ted and paraphrase "John Wick", Yeah, i might be back)

His wife posted on Instagram.

I’m really gutted.

ETA: The obituary said it was a cardiac event while skiing on Saturday, his last fuck you to cancer.

I don’t know how to respond to this. He was one of the funniest, warmest, most original - truly sui generis - people I’ve run into here, or anywhere. He could have been a professional comedy writer or stand up, and a damn good one.

I’d no idea he was battling anything.

The absence of his voice is just… it’s hard to find the superlative. There’s no way to count how many times the man caused laughs out loud (some of the best at my own expense).

The only, and extremely limited, silver lining I see in your post is that he died doing something he loved. He’s not a soul who could leave in a hospital bed, riddled with disease. That wouldn’t, couldn’t happen.

Excellent people shouldn’t go so early. The world has far too few. This is simply horrible. All the love in the world to his family.

3. No horns in rock - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To7q0cn0Fk4&t=11s
4. A president inciting a violent mob to storm the Capitol in order to prevent the certification of a fair election, and to hang those perceived as traitors, including his own vice president, was not a “threat to democracy”
5. That goldfish only have three second memories
6. That the cascading arpeggios of Coldplay’s Clocks somehow redeemed the song and made it transcend the banality of the Coldplay oeuvre
7. That P.J. O’Rourke was the next Hunter S. Thompson
8. The spelling of Hunter S. Thompson’s lawyer’s name

Sorry I’m late.

PLF was a great guy. Hung out with him a few times in MN and at the bar here. Very smart, extremely funny, and just a good person.

I will miss him. But this seems like a pretty good post to remember him by.

How often do you replace your shoes, and do you alternate two pair?
