Oh boy - never mind the LES. I was flat out bawling when the women won the gold today in basketball. There stood Lisa Leslie, with her previous 3 Gold Medals around her neck - waiting for the 4th.

On another subject - in my next life I want a job like that of Mary Carillo. What an interesting time she has had. I could pass on the scorpions on a stick, but the rest of the venues have been fascinating. This afternoon she did one on Eric Liddell, Gold Medal winner in the 400m in Paris, 1924. His story was chronicled in the movie Chariots of Fire.

Bryan Clay, Japanese-African-American. Gold Medal in the Decathlon. There used to be so much attention paid to this competition - now not so much. Too bad, this is one very nice guy.
