El Rayo-X was rockin' good fun, but for me, the essence of David Lindley was his head-down lap steel guitar work with Jackson Browne. I was fortunate enough to see him play several times at McCabe's and somehow I thought I'd be seeing him play again. RIP David Lindley.

GREAT RUNNING W ZANE!
⠀
Running together on Fathers Day was a blast, a gift.
⠀
He helped me finish my last leg for Brews Brothers Running Club after I raced 13.1 in the Solstice Run the day before.
⠀
He’s just too fast for me. Although he lost his Taft High senior year track season to the pandemic, his junior-year mile PR was 4:44.
⠀
I used to break 6:00. Years ago.😁
⠀
Nice of Zane to take it easy and run with his old man today.
⠀
He loafed. But he still pulled me to one of my best times on our hilly 10K run to the Mulholland fire road gate.
⠀
Swipe left to see a couple pics of Zane and me running NBB’s Resolution Relays 2020 together as part of “The Strehlo Family.” We took 2nd in the Open Men’s division.
⠀
As you can see, Aidan & Ethan were obviously ringers: too tall to be Strehlos, especially w Ethans big hair.
⠀
Was that really this year? Seems like forever ago that we could pose together on the podium.
⠀
The last pic is Zane and me running a trail on the trip we took after 9th grade to check out, among other things, UC Santa Cruz. UCSC is where he’s going in the Fall.
⠀
Zane’s high school times match up with his pal .udell who wears a “SLUGS” XC jersey and helped UCSC to its highest placing ever at nationals.
⠀
But Zane’s talking about maybe running for fun and intramural volleyball instead of XC.
⠀
Here’s to whatever helps keeps us running together for many more Fathers Days.
