Heh.
I assume there's an Olympic Phelps?
Michael Phelps. Swimmer. Won six gold medals in Athens, and is hoping to win eight in Beijing, breaking the record for most gold won in a single Olympiad.
He won his first race, the men's 400m IM, a full length ahead of his own world's record. It was very exciting to watch.
And for a double Buffista tie in -- his home town is Baltimore, and has lived for a while in Ann Arbor.
I mean, granted, Fred Phelps is pretty unbelievable too. Just not in an Olympic way.
Happy Belated Birthday, Aimee!
This migraine I woke up with can leave anytime now.
Oh, THAT was the whack-a-mole Phelps that Connie was talking about.
I was very confused by her hate on for the swimmer.
Happy to see more dressage this morning and Cross country tomorrow! Whoo hoo!
I was very confused by her hate on for the swimmer.
I've got no problem with swimmer Phelps. He has nice shoulders.
I just ordered my Breeders ticket for next week.
Jealous! I saw them a few months ago and they still rock it!
Yeah - thus my confusion.
(And I had no idea that Baltimore was a stronghold of swimming.)
So, I'm watching some of the artistic presentation segments of the opening ceremonies thaqt I slept through. NBC is providing a TON of free, full video online.
I'm glad to get a chance to watch this stuff. Amazing.
I can't find the drummers online. I really adored the two thousand drums.
I haven't read all the links yet, but Balloon Juice has a summary of the Russia-Georgia situation: [link]
