A solid, softspoken intellectual... who can also get down to business with some glow-in-the-dark pipe cleaners.
Seriously. What's not to love? December 14, 2004
Blank is a quiet guy at first but once you get to know him he's an awesome, patient, sweet, smart, helpful, caring & resourceful guy. He knows how to throw one hell of a party and he and Wink are two of the coolest Burners I know. I'm so glad I met them both.

Blank has become an awsome friend. Great listner, intuitive, patient, honest and sincer the only thing that makes him cooler is the fack he has the most awsome soul mate on the planet in Wink. If you ever get the urge to flail about like a beached whale in more fur than ZsaZsa Gabour could ever dream of head to there house remove shoes and do a belly flop. They will both love on you and pet you untill you get a look on your face very similar to that of your pet dog when you rub its tummy in the right spot.

Occasionally, I let my opinion be known
Arizona Ironman
(blog entry)
No, I didn't run, but I watched and volunteered! If you haven't seen this event live, then you should. The swim start is overwhelming.. 2200 people starting at one, too dense to get a good swim stroke going. See the picture.
Thousands lined... read more 
2.4 mile swim
(blog entry)
Today was the 2.4 mile (3900meter) swim I've been talking about since, what, July? It took me an 1:15 to finish, which put me in the top 35% for men overall. This is the Ironman distance for the swim, so notch that one down! Now I know what i...

Race number three
(blog entry)
I had another Sprint race last weekend. I went short so it'd be fun. No, seriously! We got a camp spot close enough to ride my bike to the start in the morning, so that Wink could sleep in.
Final time was 1:23, which is the same time as ra... read more

One step further along
(blog entry)
Today I completed (!) my first Olympic distance Tri... 1500m swim, 40k bike, 10k run. Apparently, this is a much longer distance than my 'sprint' the other week, and my body told me so.
My swim was pretty strong, < 30 minutes. The water wa... read more

about me
I'm eclectic: into spiritual growth, experiential experiences, and semiconductor physics. I've also got a very active emotional life, and can be somewhat empathic.

Thousands lined Tempe Town lake and the Mill ave bridge at 6:45 am to watch the swim start. The water was a chilly 64 degrees. I heard they had to pull some people out of the race because they were hypothermic. I watched a 55 year old woman leave the race just s... read more 
Today was the 2.4 mile (3900meter) swim I've been talking about since, what, July? It took me an 1:15 to finish, which put me in the top 35% for men overall. This is the Ironman distance for the swim, so notch that one down! Now I know what it's like doing that distance. The first 1.2 mile lap was intimidating, but as I started the second lap the anxiety started to melt away, making room for exhaustion to set in. There is something about knowing that you are past 1/2 way. Next, I'll s...

Final time was 1:23, which is the same time as race #1 but the swim was longer, and it was at altitude (7000ft) so I'm feeling' pretty good about it. I actually placed 3 of 23 in the men's 40-44 bracket, and in the top 25% for men overall. w00t! It's definitely a commitment, but it's paying of... read more
