8/25...China put on a spectacular show for the closing of the Beijing Olympics! And I've decided to become an Olympian in the sport of pole vaulting. I can use a 20 foot bamboo pole from work to practice vaulting over the low hanging power line in my backyard. If posting suddenly stops here at TKR, you can surmise that something went horribly wrong. 8/24...Every 2 years I catch Olympic fever. I love the Olympics so much that for the past two weeks I have been a recluse, doing almost nothing but following the 29th Olympiad. Closing ceremonies are tonight, however, and I am exhausted! WATCHING the Olympics should itself be an Olympic event...
