  1. Tonight, my wife and daughters are off "enjoying" a Deep Purple concert.
    Meanwhile I've enjoyed a magical run this evening through dark country lanes
    with only the sound of my feet, small creatures scurrying through the
    undergrowth and the nerve jangling screech of owls as accompaniment.

    With a small head torch and my glow-wire, I could see (and be seen) if I
    wanted to but for much of my run I ran in almost complete darkness, relying
    on starlight and a hint of cloud reflected glow from distant street lights
    to light my way.

    Can't imagine why anyone would want to be packed into a big sweaty hall
    filled with unimaginable noise.

    As I said, I'm getting old....

    Tisk!

    Isn't that the title of a Pink Floyd track?

    They were in their 50's when I was a kid, they gotta be like 90 by
    now. Imagine Kid Rock doing his stuff when he's like 60? 60 YO and
    stuck with a name like Kid Rock...

  5. u ever wonder why the only sound you here is an owl?
    better run with a golf iron dude.
    listen and become one with the sounds of nature.

    All I hear are owls, yes.
    I listen, I hasten to hear.
    One hoot, one howl.

    Who? Isn't that like a group from way back in the 20th century or
    something, back when they used to have groups and stuff like that?

    Hard to believe that some folk would pass up an opportunity to enjoy a great
    run. ;-)

    Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim, you really can't go passing on the opportunity to
    see such classics as these. Was it them or a tribute band? I remember the
    '70s line up Paise, Blackmore, Lord, Glover, Gillan, Ashmore. By God them
    were the days. I'd just discovered booze then and suffered as a result of
    over indulgence on many a headbanging night out.
    Your run sounds great though. I like night running especially from our
    village where we have little light pollution. I did a run last year on a
    crystal clear night, very cold with no wind, the sky was full of stars and
    an aurora. I just felt I wanted to run forever.

    Ha! I'm off to see 'The Killers' at Manchester Uni union on Fri night.
    Cost me a king's ransom for the tickets but, hey, it'll be worth every
    penny...

    Purple concert is?

  20. Lets see we have put these two on a balance.

    A run thru a beatiful night or screaming kids.
    Hmmm... I will take "getting old" as a matter of fact when Deep Purple
    actually meant something I would have gone on a run back then too.

    Your "all grown" now. Good choice...course if it had been Hendrix or
    Zepplin or the Dead then it may been a harder choice.

    What the hell am I talking about.... never mind.
