Well well well... lots to talk about on this one so excuse the length. First of all lets talk about the Dead To Red Ultra Marathon Relay. What an experience THAT turned out to be. To begin, everyone on the team was so stoked about finally getting to the race that I don't think anyone got a good night's sleep the night prior. We all showed up with smiles on our faces at the starting point. It was great to finally lay eyes on the Dead Sea... looked more like a big lake across which you could see...read more

I grabbed my Bachelor's Degree (from who-knows-who now) shook hands, and glanced at the crowd to see mom, grandma and little sis, I give...read more

We had a meeting the other day with some Special Oeprations logisticians. The Special OPS guys specialize in foreign internal defense, counter-insurgency, and clandestine ops. Much of what they do is secret so can't really discuss on a blog. However, during the interest roundtable discussion, one officer mentioned the concept of the starfish and the spider. The idea is that a starfish keeps re-generating no matter where it gets cut. However, a spider can be...read more
