Assorted
1. There's an excellent four-episode documentary on the ABA on Amazon Prime. It's called Soul Power and it's legitimately fantastic. Also, one thing I'd never heard until now: Bob Costas had just graduated from college when the Spirits of St. Louis made him their play-by-play announcer.
I guess he did okay.
2. I listen to a very specific kind of music to get into flow state when I work (or walk). It's probably epitomized by this song, which is one of the most perfectly written and performed songs I've ever heard. I did some research and it turns out that this band (Alvvays) and several other bands I really like are in a genre called jangle pop. That helped me find other, similar groups that I'm listening to on my phone today as I walk through the neighborhood.
3. Elastic shoelaces make for a revolutionary shoe-wearing experience. The entire pressure on your foot is distributed absolutely evenly.
4. I've walked 20 miles in the last 4 days, so while my back is still recovering, at least I can walk as far as I want now.
