The Olympics

We have been watching the Olympics around here like crazy. Michael Phelps, Shawn Johnson, Ryan Lochte, Dalhausser & Rogers...these people amaze us. We keep trying to find an easy sport that maybe we could try to be good at and then go to the Olympics. Gary says maybe water polo cause they don't look like they are in the very best of shape--or maybe table tennis. Probably volleyball is out of the question. Every now and then there is a magical moment of awe when we play with our friends at good ol' Vernon Wirthlin Park. Mostly those moments come when we actually volley or somebody kicks the ball. Ya, we are definitely not yet up to Olympic standards. It definitely takes a lot of dedication in any sport to be as good as the Olympians. But the dream continues. How cool would it be to jot down on a resume, "Won a gold medal (or eight)--best in the whole wide enormous world at ________"? The only thing that could beat that would be "I walked on the moon," as Brian Regan says. We love the Olympics!
