Merry Christmas

December 25, 2007

I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men. And thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along the unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men. And […]

The Wise Men

December 24, 2007

Step softly, under snow or rain, To find the place where men can pray; The way is all so very plain That we may lose the way. Oh, we have learnt to peer and pore On tortured puzzles from our youth, We know all the labyrinthine lore, We are the three wise men of yore, […]

21 Forever

The Anatomy of a Hit

December 1, 2007

>> Football physics lesson of the day: “At 5 ft. 11 in. and 199 pounds, Marcus Trufant is an average-size NFL defensive back…a DB’s mass combined with his speed – on average, 4.56 seconds for the 40-yard dash – can produce up to 1,600 pounds of tackling force.” Uh…ouch?
