The lines that hit me sometimes: "I've lost my fire over time, always playin' one more hand for one more dime Slowin' down, I'm getting tired, slowin' down, and I envy you the valley that you've found" Lately I've felt that way about running. The last month here has been sweltering heat, I find myself cutting a run short, or stopping to walk and recover, or going much slower than I feel like I should be going or used to be able to go. Darn you Runkeeper app! I'm trying to convince myself that it's the weather rather than aging. We'll see what happens when the temps become more reasonable. Fellow runners - Jonifest will be right next to one of the top 10 urban bike/running paths in the country. Bring your shoes. Walking it will also be very enjoyable.

Here again, I read somewhere that Joni said her friends disliked it. But it has a lot of stuff going on in it. The sexy dance beat and the lines ...must I forgive you each time, and say you don't know what you're doing... She addresses it to a partner but it touches on that day in age when you stand your ground and say, well, maybe I do have to go on forgiving, but I do not have to keep picking up the baggage of delusion. I am not old so I am told, but I was not born yesterday, so do not even start that crap with me. My heart is a smoking gun just now. It is an excellent song for certain days." Hi Pete, Great song!! Thanks for adding it to the list. I love your interpretation of it too!! I get that! Like Circle Game, it fits with growing up, gaining wisdom, and reaching the acceptance of not being able to control outcomes. I love Joni's lyric of her heart being a smoking gun. To me that says trust your heart. I have a heart condition where if I don't trust mine, I can end up in the Emergency Department at the hospital. Coming to the acceptance that nothing can be done and moving on is healthy. Once again Joni amazes me more because of people on this list like you Pete with excellent discussion! Below is a link to a beautiful sexy video of Nothing Can Be Done. I swear I've been in that bar more than once!!! http://youtu.be/fcANlCNMU4A That song tally currently is: 1. Sweet Bird 2. Facelift 3. Songs to Aging Children Come 4. Circle Game 5. Chinese Cafe 6. Nothing Can Be Done Thanks again Pete!
