...thin, wiry guy who runs marathons and enjoys "century" bike races. But after Everest, he?s twenty pounds lighter than normal. At least those little tufts sticking out of his cheeks gave some definition to his gaunt features. His beautiful pale blue eyes sat deep inside hollow eye sockets that were rimmed with black cuts created when his goggles froze to his face. The skin on his face resembled bronze leather and bore the effects of sub-zero temperatures, 100-mile-an-hour winds, biting snow and glaring sun. His clothes hung too loosely off his frame and he still...
...class has ever been invited there. I wonder how many students’ names he knows. I wonder what sort of friend he is even to his aged peers, not just “kids” like us. Is he affectionate? Or is he interesting for conversation and hollow for humanity? Did he toss a football with his kids?

...protests of the Administration, say critics, ring as hollow as an empty oil drum. It consulted heavily with energy-industry lobbyists but spent little time talking to environmentalists.

...talk over the events of the day and our training plans to get faster over the summer. The conversation inevitably turns to the Salt Lake Olympics and the next series of dates marked in red on all of our calendars. The trials start on December 26 at the Soldier Hollow venue in Utah. I still haven't exactly figured out how to "qualify" for the trials (aren't they supposed to be open to everyone?) and this is one of my projects for the summer. There is some kind of points system involved, but it is unclear...
