I can’t run anymore because my knees are basically shot, but I still like to get out and walk or hike, usually with this dork in tow:

His name is Nelson, and he’s one of my sister’s two rescue dogs. And he is a dork.

Anyway, now that it’s colder, there are not nearly the large numbers of people flocking to the park like there were during the summer and early fall, so in addition to making social distancing easier, I don’t have to worry about above-mentioned dork getting too excited about every dog he sees. Which also means that I can go for longer walks and plan longer playlists, one of which I will list below for your enjoyment:

1 – “HEAVY CROSS” BY GOSSIP

2 – “GOTTA GET INTO SOMETHING” BY GARY CLARK JR.

3 – “GREEN EYES & A HEART OF GOLD” BY THE LONE BELLLOW

4 – “HEY, MAN!” BY NELLY FURTADO

5 – “BAMBOO BANGA” BY M.I.A.

6 – “JUST LIKE MY HEART” BY FAULT LINES

7 – “EASY LOVE” BY MSTRKRFT

8 – “BRIGHTEST STAR” BY LILLY HIATT

9 – “FAITH” BY GALANTIS FT DOLLY PARTON & MR PROBZ
