Sorry for the delay

Saturday, August 28th, 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.

Why do I do these things?

I need a plan!

Tuesday, August 17th, 2004

I really, really need a training plan. I’m drifting aimlessly now without a marathon goal. I’d put one together but its all governed by how my leg feels. It would look like this:

How far have we really come?

Tuesday, August 17th, 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 [...]
