about getting from point A to point B in the most interesting ways possible

If you're a large woman in America, your whole life is an opportunity to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, resentful and way too big. You can hide in the corner or on the couch, you can go to therapy, or you can put on your lycra bike shorts and get out there and move.
—Jayne Williams, Slow Fat Triathlete

Uhm, could you make a mix tape and overnight it to me? :)

That sounds like an awesome collection of music, and I especially like the international/Americana influence. I swear one of the things I'll do if I ever win the lottery is buy lots and lots of music.

Wow, what a list! I have only heard two of the songs: They Might Be Giants (I love them, and one of my favorite songs; my daughter loves it, too) and Wilco (of course one of my favorite bands of all freakin' time).

Incredible diversity. I'll have to check some of them out.

Glad to see you on the MarathonWalkers list. I think you'll really like it.

Good luck with everything!
