iThink: Bruce Springsteen, "The River"

Two beers and four pizza slices last night before I went to sleep and I had best be running, and I was.
I had occasion last night to watch the local theater's production of Footloose (yes, a musical adaptation of the Kevin Bacon movie) and realized it was a story not only about cultural change (or fear thereof), but also reconciliation and coming of age. I'd never seen the movie, but I was talking with one of the actors (one of my coworkers in Iraq four years ago) about how good theater really puts you in the story - and in retrospect, you really don't need spectacular sets to do that - in fact, in some ways, that's not necessarily what you want because it takes you away from the actors themselves.
Good theater is a reminder of something from the episode "The Samaritan Snare" from Star Trek: The Next Generation: "There's no greater challenge than the study of philosophy. Anyone can be trained in the mechanics of piloting a starship. Open your mind to the past - art, history, philosophy. And all this may mean something."
Today was surprisingly faster than I expected, but I didn't run yesterday and today's my first day running without snivel gear - which makes (from what I can tell) a few seconds per mile difference.
