Every busy parent knows that getting out of the house is top priority. Grab that stroller and hit the road! Keep fit, and give that Joey some air! And don't forget to bring your tunes so you can dance along the way!

Soul Planet

I've got Skills!

Elephants run slow and steady, but are definitely sure footed. Black ice. I almost had multiple wipeouts this morning when I went for my run. A light snow began to fall and suddenly outlined the treacherous foe. I danced around it similarly to our pachydermic friend here, but wasn’t sporting the purple compression wear. Those were my daughters suggestions, and I think they rock.

Roses and Crowns! The day is yours to conquer! You are a champion!

This fox has the tunes cranked and and all the running vibes that can win the race!

Cheddar admires the drive as well as the sunset!

Mice love cheesecake. Keep and Eye on Yours!

When we run, it's the only time we get along.

Goats kinda freak me out. Not sure if its the look they give you like their going to ram you in the nethers, the fact that they eat pine trees, or the way they whine like a baby. Just Weird. Although I do like the cheese! Speaking of goats, here’s one running to his retirement. Thanks for the memories!

Just roll with it

Bring your friends to howl at the moon!

Fox and Hare didn't plan for this, but they get along and go for a run!

Phish at the Sphere!

Dancing lizard hears a favorite Phish song!

Run like an antelope is one of my wife's favorite songs. The first time I saw her listen to it, I thought she was going to dance through the roof. Have seen this many times live and when Phish plays it, you know you'll be seeing a good show. So, during this theme I thought I'd draw an antelope, because boy, they can really run fast.

"Here comes the joker, With his silly grin, He carries a martini. Made of bathtub gin." Dolphins are the lovable jokers of the sea. Get ready for a seaside summer with a tub full of gin!

Divided Sky, the wind blows high. I represented the group with "spirit" animals. Notice the Wolfman's brother? When you go into the history of this song, it's pretty crazy. There's this Rhombus thing on top of the hill that they climb to and view the sky and so on an so forth. When I told my wife about the history, she was like, wait, what? So yeah....the Rhombus. Check it out.

"It's Cadillac rainbows and lots of spaghetti, And I love meatballs so you better be ready"." Dog's riding down to the central part of town.

Great tune by Phish. I have my own ghost story though. I used to live inside this big old house. Squirrels and mice would run in the attic and under the floor boards. It was rented, so there wasn't much we could do. One night, I heard some music and talking going on in the wall. It sounded like an 1940's party or something. I remember hearing laughing. A woman's voice. I was annoyed because I thought it was my roommate in the next room staying up late. The next morning, he asked me what the sounds were coming from my room! I don't think I slept the rest of the week. Oh, there was also that time I heard someone stand over me saying my name, but when I opened my eyes, there was nobody there. Ghost stories are freaky. This song is awesome.

....so just hold tight. Isn't it true? This crazy world spins like a chicken running around the yard! Out of control. So hold on tight, the sun comes up on a new day...and hopefully something good comes with it. I had fun with this illustration. Trey rides the chicken to tomorrow. Hop on for a new adventure!

"Oh Fee. You got a bottle upside your head. Have a cup of coffee and catch your breath"....?! Don't you feel bad for Fee? I mean, come on! How do you wave off that sort of abuse? And then poor Floyd ends up eaten by Sharks?! Oh Fee! I'll stick with thinking about you enjoying your coffee, you little weasel.

Everyone has their own ideas when they read lyrics of a song. As I grow older, the words that speak to me are of an old man rebelling against...getting old! Grabbing those two erasers, smashing them together, chalk falling on his tongue. So, "can't I live while I'm young" definitely rings true, but life doesn't have to stop there. Go berzerk and make a mess!

Everybody gets in on the running and some have things to say. W reminds us of of the whale as well as winning! This one is no killer though. Sporting the slogan "I Run 4 Whales", "Flops" is cruising to the finish....then to the beach.

When you only have access to one pair of shoes, you wear them the best you can and give it your all. Octavius know's he out of the water, but he can still fly! Just watch out for those flying droplets of sweat, they might be ink and leave a stain!

May the Fourth Be With You

Brad loves playing dress up in his favorite Space Opera costume.

Your lightsaber will be a nice addition to my collection.

Ham and Chewy look for a way to secure snacks for the galaxy.
