The preliminary ranking rounds of both the individual and team competitions of men’s and women’s archery needed to be completed before the athletes paraded around the Olympic Stadium. The morning and afternoon sessions took Olympic fans to one of the spiritual homes... Read More

Boy, do I really need a new pair of glasses. Constructed as much out of electrical tape and Gorilla Glue as they are the original frames these days, my literal worldview just keeps getting more and more askew as they warp and wind around. Yet despite the fact that I seem to be harder on spectacles than Djokovic on his rackets, I keep on persevering. Perhaps that’s why I always see things a little differently… and that’s not necessarily... Read More

India survived early setbacks and a fearsome Sri Lankan offense to hoist the Cricket World Cup for the first time in nearly three decades...
Each of the past two losing finalists were getting their shot against one another to hoist the Cup. For Sri Lanka they had been in position to win four years ago, but ran into the Australian juggernaut at the end of its threepeat reign over the World Cup. India had their chance against the Australians in 2003,... Read More

We’re already at the quarter pole for 2011?! Wow… this year just keeps sneaking past me, days turning into weeks and barreling through the months before I even realize it. At least some semblance of normalcy is on the horizon for me now, as spring arrives with my residential situation in focus and the ability to really hunker down to some work. Read More

So I spent the weekend traveling into the land of the Giants. As Dickens said, “it was the best of times, it was the worst of times”. Hell, I’ve taken trips to Vegas that wound up being less eventful than this weekend.
