Bike 27 miles (round trip) to get tacos in Minnesota in mid-October? Sure when it’s 84 degrees and the carne asadas are that good.

I think Jimi’s All Along the Watchtower is probably the GOAT but I really like Sting’s “self cover” of The Police’s Shadows in the Rain.

I think at the time Sting thought it strange when he heard some people considered it their love song, maybe even wedding song. His first single on Dream of the Blue Turtles (If you love somebody, set them free) was a sort of response.

"Especially For You" (the song) appears on The Smithereens' Green Thoughts album, not their Especially For You album.

I'm not sure what my answer is, but this prompt has me thinking about all the pre-pandemic concerts to which I was able to walk in Minneapolis, Chicago, and on a college campus.

A4: Shakespeare is a homebody but he’d tolerate the vacation once he got there. He doesn’t need anyone besides Dad taking his photos (if that).
Shakespeare the pug in two dog beds stacked on top of each other.

A3: Absolutely walk together as a family. It's great being out in nature as a family even if Shakespeare likes to sniff and linger too long on occasion. He'd also hate it if this job was delegated. #pugtalk

A2: For Shakespeare, eating > nap > outdoor fun, but he does like all three each day. Dad feels better giving him more treats when he's exercised a bit too. #pugtalk

A1: Shakespeare thinks he's a guard dog so any squirrel, turkey, or deer that breaches the perimeter gets barked at and chased away. When he's out on his walk, he can't be bothered. #pugtalk
