More to the story to write and share later, but here’s all you need to know about the blur of this past weekend. With two separate hours of trying to sleep and not, finally sleeping for 4 hours after I pretty much needed an ice bath with clothes on when I severely overheated at 91 miles, I completed the final Mo Bell 100 miler race by the wonderful in just under 48 hours! What an experience. Good stories, great people, unforgettable moments, and I’m happily retired from something else in my life after the one and done Ironman in 2010.

Stay tuned for the next round of the new monthly show by and myself called Woven Nashville. Many thanks for the entire staff of the for helping make this idea a reality. Already excited about November, and I love me some Halloween.

Whenever I get stressed about politics or sports or humans, it’s very comforting knowing all I have to do is walk or jog around community and see how others who truly care about humanity over ego feel too. Also, I heard Soul Asylum this morning and it made me appreciate seeing them at Dancing in the District in high school and the altruistic message in their big Runaway Train video. Random, but grateful.

So honored to call these artists friends, and was humbled to host the first “Current Classics” collaboration between and last night. A wonderful crowd listened to inspiring stories behind the art all around, and we were treated with a beautiful dance performance by on the way out into the rain.

Didn’t get a picture with all the friends or just beside my forever main date, but could it be a better date night than going to an art gallery to listen to activists/candidates who actually inspire us and work for the sake of others over themselves (thanks to Megan Barry, Molly Secours, and Susan Tinney) and then dancing in perfect weather to My Morning Jacket and Nathaniel Rateliff? The answer is no, at least for yesterday. Here’s to whatever comes from today with renewed hope and extra positive friend fuel. Always grateful for the friends and blessed relationships we have had since day 1 this round.

When I first met and fell in love with Emily Harper Frances Beard, I told her I was “Never boring but sometimes annoying.” Today marks 15 years of marriage, and I think she’d agree that our marriage gives us the feeling of “Never boring, sometimes annoying, but always loved.” To my truly better half, the best, all my love, past, future, and present.

Sending all my love and light to the greatest pirate to ever live and rock any stage, Tom Mason. Tom is playing his final song before the big curtain call for this round, and many friends are posting pics on here to let him know we are thinking about him. Please do the same, if you have pics and smiles and tears. Tom is the best of us and the absolute best of Nashville. So much love and light.

For men and women and all children, I think about this quote daily and in everything I do. Just signed up for another adventure in my own story recently. Hoping anyone who reads this today is doing their best to do more than simply show up.

Fascinating for me to drive my son to school most days and see a council member walking their kids to their school on one side of the street before going to work and then a guy from our neighborhood who lives with his mom and walks in the opposite direction towards 5 Points to drink and ask for money from tourists all day every day on the other side of the street. I know they don’t know each other, but I know both more than they know me. Probably a story there ☺️

Also, Oogie Boogie is still at our house.

Also, also, what an amazing yesterday thanks to the love of ... Honored to be breathing another today. Let’s make something good happen.
