Sorry for the delay

| August 28, 2004

I’m so very sorry for the incredibly rude delay in posting. I had to go out of town and the internet access wasn’t available. Well, actually it was but it cost so damn much I didn’t want to pay. Again, sorry for not updating. I was in Toronto for a week of super special training. [...]

Welcome to my new home!

| August 21, 2004

Mark has kindly allowed me to take up residence here. Blogger was killing me. I’ve tried to move everything over, links and archives, but if I missed something you use, let me know. THANKS, MARK!!!! In other news, I ran 5.5 miles today at an average pace of 9:09. The faster speed seemed more comfortable [...]

Why do I do these things?

| August 20, 2004

Sometimes when I have noone to eat lunch with, I go to the supermarket next to the plant and buy my lunch there. Tuna Creations Sweet and Spicy tuna in one of those envelope things, banana, lawash wraps, Dasani water, and a yogurt. Then I sit in my truck and eat lunch while I listed [...]

I need a plan!

It would look like this: Sun – crosstrainMon – restTues – run until it hurts, lift weightsWed – cross train, lift some moreThurs – run until it [...]

How far have we really come?

| August 17, 2004

I was listening to my wife read to my son about a Pharaoh in ancient Egypt. The story talked about the sun god and beliefs about what the sun was doing up there, moving across the sky and just dissapearing. I thought about what we could show them today, about how the world is not [...]
