Bubble fast. Slow down.

Little back pain after Wednesday’s workout. Pushed it to four miles because of the playlist. 1989 was the best year in the history of popular music.

The other day I listened to a podcast about the 90s Swing Revival, which was mostly spent by 1999. I remember it as being a good time, we dressed up to see Squirrel Nut Zippers in early 1998. But the host of this show emphasized how stupid it all was, which is not surprising coming from a Millennial.

This isn't the first time this particular host has looked into the recent past and failed to connect the subject to the time period. She got as far as the 1990s being a time for fun and affluence, and I suppose it was. But it was also the end of the century, and the so-called "swing" revival was just one part of a complete regurgitation of the previous one hundred years.

Every era had its own revival that decade. I guess this one appeared stupider than most. Believe me, it wasn't.

Tingling in my right pinky. In bed last night, tingling in my right thigh, too. Knee pain, thigh pain. Because I ran an extra mile? It may have been how I ran it. James suggests I not go so hard. I think he's right.
