Heat, painkillers, light stretching...if you’re anything like me you woke up one day and realized you were Much Older Than Before and that things like stretching and whatever body management routines work for you are now like food. Gotta have them every day. (I don’t, I’m still stuck in the know-I-should stage...) A heating pad, even on a hot day, is always the most immediate source of relief for me (even as I case my friendbase for anyone with leftover vicodin etc.).

Trucker songs were my favorite, when I was 11 or 12. I like to say that the first two records I bought with my own money were the Beach Boys live album "Wow! Great Concert!" and Pink Floyd's "Ummagumma", but actually the first one was a collection of hit trucker songs. I still have all three, yes
