Lost worlds and ports of call

Older marathoners

Interesting article at the Wall Street Journal about older runners completing marathons. I finished my first marathon at age 44, though I’d been running all my life. I just never ran with purpose until much later, and it took a couple of years of serious training before I attempted a marathon. I’ve dealt with one persistent foot injury, despite careful training. Just goes to show you can’t control everything.

Disneyfying Star Wars

This news about Disney buying LucasFilm and planning a vast stream of Star Wars sequels seems almost like an early April Fools joke. Then again, the endless Clone Wars focus (live and animated) must end some time, right? And there are plenty of novels from which to mine movies in the Star Wars world. The experience will be a little watered down, but somewhere a good plot or space ship design will surface.
