» Welcome to The Noosphere |

Funny word, noosphere. When you first see it, you want to prounounce it new sphere. Natural enough, but incorrect. To learn more about this unusual word and why we have built our site around it, click below.
Careful, though. Once you go Noosphere, you may never go back . . .

Common Sports - Uncommon Games
Alone.
Largely in the dark, with only the flickering light from our gas driven fire warming the ceramic logs and 55 inches of high definition art providing a view into what is most often some far corner of the world.
Night after night I sit ignoring the phone, e-mail, text messages and two very persistent family dogs. I am left up, alone in my living room with Mary Carrillo, long after my wife has gone to bed.
If you think that sounds a bit destructive, you might be right. I have a problem. I’m an addict, a junkie, a freak.
My name is Bob and I am an Olympiholic....

The Storm Part V - Denouement
And so the ground war, as quickly as it had started, was ending. There was no grand pronouncement signaling hostilities were over. There was simply a subtle shift from being prepared to mow down anything that moved to resisting that impulse. We’d gone as far north as the Kuwaiti International Airport, found there was simply no one left interested in a fight, and had ground to a halt. Then came the official word - President Bush had issued a cease-fire.
And a merciful cease-fire it was. We had executed Schwartzkopf and Powell’s masterful ‘left hook’ assault, a lightning fast westward flanking attack, to near perfection. We had outmaneuvered and surprised the Iraqi forces, and were in the process of decimating any that elected to resist. Most did not. Those that did paid a horrible price....

The Safety Dance
Three weeks into training, I'm finally getting some distance out of my runs. Not a lot, but something that isn't embarrassing to admit. The first two weeks all I did was walk. Week One was 20 minute walks. Week Two was thirty minute walks. Week Three, walk-running. And my last run I did thirty-five minutes of five minutes walking/five minutes running. Went over two and half miles.
For those of you who have been following this blog since the beginning you may be wondering why the heck I'm starting out so slow. Marathon training is different than 5k training. Keeping the legs strong and healthy is far more difficult, and so my runs will be much slower, and over much softer ground. Increases at this stage will be pretty gradual. Ok, back to the point of this entry ...

A Proper Sendoff
Dear Humans of 3020 AD,
With science and medicine accelerating at the dizzying rate it is, it is not inconceivable that death is as archaic a notion to you in your time as ritual human sacrifice is to us in ours. Part of me certainly hopes so; a sentiment made all the more keen as I grieve the sudden loss of a man, friend and brother ...
