Wrapped up 2015 with a stellar treadmill run. Alternating hard/easy quarter mile segments for a little over 10 miles.

I've been listening to Chris Stapleton's Traveller album a lot lately. Love it! Especially good is his cover of the old George Jones classic "Tennessee Whiskey". Stay away though if you don't like your grandpa's country music or songs about whiskey and women problems.

Nice! Are you the only guy in Utah listening to that?

Still getting the year wrong on day #365 though...2016 is going to be tough - don't fill out any government forms anytime soon!

Happy new year.

Fixed it Joe!

My mom was borned in Mississippi and I spent 20 years mostly in South Carolina before moving to Utah in 2002. I try to stay connected to my roots.

That explains it...the window of opportunity for ever liking classic country music closes around age 20.

I'm listening to Tennessee Whiskey. Initial impression is it's not my favorite.
