Dara Torres needs a bike

August 17, 2008

She probably has one, she's probably rich, she probably has other things to do besides ride a bike, but she's great. So modest, so good, such a good sport. Did you see her before the sprint, telling the officials to hold up while the Swedish swimmer replaced a torn suit? And not bummed about the silver, and all that.

Bummer about the opening ceremonies officials letting another little girl lip sync the 7-year old's voice...because, of course, the real singer's teeth weren't good enough to show the world. Holy cow.

Well....it's been fun. Weird in its way---the stories about the young home-country gymnasts being forced to go to gymnastics camp when they were 3, screaming the whole way, but it's good for the family, good for the country, something like that. Average weight: 77 pounds. Ages questionable. Gymnastics is too intense for me.

Anyway.....time to go to bed.
