BCP 114: Acquisition ('Blackberry Blossom'). This is only the first 16 notes, but it's the first 'stone' across the stream for this tune. Swipe once to see the difference that an hour (nearly) of practice makes, then swipe again for a still of what my musical director Banjo the Dog is doing. #banjopractice #banjonation #bélacampprep #defuniaksprings #murphymethod #stellingbanjo #blueridgebanjocamp #blackberryblossom

Banjo the Dog: today's designated worry wart. #banjothedog

Me: "Why are you so tired this morning? You slept all night." Banjo the Dog: "Worrying is exhausting." Me: "Worrying? What does a little dog like you have to worry about?" Banjo the Dog: "I worry about everything when you're gone." Me: "Well, don't do that! Worrying about stuff is a stupid waste of time and energy. Banjo the Dog: "Nietzsche said worry is what the powerless substitute for action." Me: "Nietzsche, huh? I'm impressed. Did you learn that in dog college?" Banjo the Dog: "I don't remember." Me: "So what are you worried about?" Banjo the Dog: "I know you're running every day. I worry that you'll get hit by a truck and then I'll have to go to dog prison." Me: "Dog prison? What's that?" Banjo the Dog: "The pound." Me: "Okay, well, you've got two 'won't happens' there. First, I won't get hit by a truck." Banjo the Dog: "You won't?" Me: "Very definitely not. Besides, I haven't run in 3 days." Banjo the Dog: "Really?! That's good!" Me: "Actually, not so much. But even if I do get hit by a truck, which I won't, you wouldn't go to the pound. You'd come live here at Mama's house." Banjo the Dog: "Oh, that's right. I forgot about that." Me: "Better?" Banjo the Dog: "I guess. I can tell you for sure after I sleep on it awhile." Me: "Okay, then." #conversationswithbanjothedog

That's better. #banjothedog

Proposed Modified 5k-a-Day Streak Rules for Next Streak: 1. Run 5k a day. 2. If any additional distance beyond 5k is run, then... 3. When the additional adds up to 5k, one day off is permitted. Change name from '5k-a-Day Streak' to 'Modified 5k Streak' to reflect rule changes. Thoughts? Reply in comments.
