I have a new hero, and I wasn’t even in the market for one.
Check out this amazing article about a 41-year-old woman who qualified for the US Olympic team. I’ve been out of the loop for sports a long time, longer still if you count when I quit playing basketball or swimming (we won’t count that varsity letter in badminton). Still, this woman’s story has intrigued me.
I’ll be checking her progress in Beijing, that’s for sure.
Instead of going to the fireworks, we watched an Alfred Hitchcock marathon.
I ask you, is there anything more cheesy than The Birds, and more brilliant than Vertigo and Rear Window?
We also caught part of the Jaws marathon, but let me tell you that it was painful to watch; the special effects were so awful, awful! Really, I can’t think of one movie that redeems the 70’s in special effects. Even Lucas went back and redid Star Wars.
I love the fireworks. Maybe we’ll be able to go to the show tonight. It draws quite a crowd, but you can’t beat the comfortable stadium seating, even if it IS on a small scale..
