Cormac McCarthy’s book, Blood Meridian, inspired Ben Nichols to write an album about many of its characters and landscape. There’s a longer video of him performing the entire album, along with a professor giving a talk about the book, but I love this clip of him performing one of the main songs.

Currently living my worst nightmare…does anyone have a good lawyer for tenant cases? #ugh

Reached over 90 workouts in 23 weeks since starting this whole ‘don’t die super young’ thing. I had a rough couple of weeks doing the bare minimum and really had to talk myself into working out today. I’m really glad I did. My legs are on fire but my mood is already brighter. Proud of myself, especially when I feel like I’m ‘failing’. Just trying to remember this is a forever thing, not an -until I reach my goal weight- thing. Let’s get to 100!! @joinladder #workbitch #movingmybodydaily #whydomykneespop #over40andfab

Ellie’s first day of seventh grade!!! She let me do her hair, I can tell she’s so excited but slightly nervous. I’m so glad she has good friends joining her at the new school. The vibe on her new campus is so great. I hope our kids have a safe and exciting first year of middle school.

Wanted a fun fall film.
