You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

At least mine is topical.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Bigger countries are going to do better. Duh. Richer countries are going to do better. Duh. Basically, a high medal count means "we're a big rich country" and we really didn't need an Olympics to tell us that. What are you bragging about, Bob Costas?

Or the home country (unless you're Canada), or a Communist country. Or Australia.

Our wings are not tired.

I understand the ideal, Liese. There is much debate around here concerning amateur and professional athletes. To compete at that level is more than a full time job, it is a 24x365 job that requires a lot of support. My ideal would be that the competing athletes had the same level of support. The same thing applies to school sports where non-compensated means a whole lot different thing from one environment to another.

The people that we know that have competed for the US, Jamaica, and the Bahamas all trained together in Atlanta. It amuses me that people competing against each other for their individual countries all trained together at the same facility, here.

Hey Jesse, I just saw these spectator-like shoes in a Dillard ad: [link]

And Oxford style pumps were a fall trend in the new Elle. (Though they are not two colour shoes.) Comme ca: [link]

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

M (who's from Toronto) keeps joking that he has to go to Beijing to rescue his hockey team from the bottom of the pool. "They got drunk and showed up at the wrong Olympics!"

C self off cliff.

Oh, Perkins.

What?

So maybe I should have made it Death is not an option, instead of FCM.

"They got drunk and showed up at the wrong Olympics!"

It's entirely likely.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks, Sue! Too bad I like the $600 shoes.

There'll be knockoffs soon enough.
