A two-fold rec. First, the song 'back on the road' by half moon run. Isn't it incredible when a new release from your favourite band lines up exactly with your current experience of being alive?
Second, I rec getting actually back on the road. For a second, I'd lost my way. Stationary, forgotten. But when you simply begin to place one slow, painful, difficult foot in front of the other, believe it or not, the journey starts to happen.
It's so hard, being on the road (especially approaching 21, when the gears are shifting) but it is always worth it. I never wish I took more breaks, I always wish I did more living.
Back on the road baby!

Specifically "Canola Fields" by James McMurtry. I feel like the older I get, the more this sort of songwriting resonates. It's impossible to escape. Even if you're not a dad yet, the dad rock finds you. Be warned.
Anyway, one of the lines is so simple, yet poignant, and, to me, that's the true hallmark of good songwriting. The line: "cashing in on a thirty year crush, you can't be young and do that". It reorients aging in a way that really struck me. Smashing together the childish and the mature and flipping the usual loss/gain calculus. Showing that just as there are certain things unrecoverable to the old (that humming freshness of youth!), there are also things that are incomprehensible to the young. It's a dialectic, and romance and beauty come in many forms.

Literally every meal is made better by the addition of an egg. Rice? Stir fry an egg in. Sandwich? Fried egg. Any breakfast food? Scramble one on the side. Life is better with eggs 🙏

Any reason to go to the pub really! But I love the camaraderie of all doing a quiz together:
- coming up with a silly team name
- being rowdy and bantering with the quizmaster
- that feeling when you got a question right that you weren't sure about
- always an excuse to get another pint
- when a round is announced and you know that someone on your team is about to nail it
- winning (naturally)
It's just extremely fun
