I’m taking the week off to go back to the lake. I’ll be watching the convention and season one of The Wire -- not to mention the closing ceremonies of the Olympics. I hope they have more fake children.My Olympic hero so far is David Nevill of the US who dove at the finish line of the 400 meter final, doing a swan dive onto the track in a successful, desperation effort to win the Bronze medal. I could hear inside his head: “Man, four years of work to get to the Olympics – I’m leaving nothing in the tank!”
What is the big deal about the Chinese women gymnasts? Is the idea that if only we could have brought our 12-year-olds we’d have won more gold?
See you in September. Joe Biden should have said several things worth comment by then.
