I really want to say, who knew this country was so beautiful????  I sure didn’t!  Last I left, Kevin and I had made it over half way through the country in 34.5 hours.  We definitely made the right choice spending little time in the middle part of the America and making our way to the [...]

Last I wrote, Kevin and I spent a smashing time in Boston with James, Eric and Anita.  We had a lovely evening in Cambridge, MA – but got to bed rather early so we could get a good start on the day.  We knew it was going to be a long day on Tuesday.  Our [...]

Men’s Volleyball - another nail-biter in volleyball (See DurbanBud, I told you - and the men are hotter than the women!).  The men’s team [...]

Women’s Volleyball - The US Women got into the medal round after [...]

So, I always wondered why most summer olympics are organized in the following way - week 1 swimming - week 2 - track and field.  I mean, when it comes to the marquee sports - and the ones that have the most medals at stake.  In total, there are 32 swimming events.  Track and Field [...]

Well, the women’s gymnastics controversy thickens yesterday as the apparatus finals began.  Alicea Sacramone, coming back from a disastrous performance in the team finals, was a medal contender in the vault finals.  (NBC did an interview with her after the team finals that just about broke your heart…)  Anyway, I digress.  So, Alicea is first [...]
