My "olympic experience".

Back in '84 the company I worked for decided to have a "House Olympics" at the park.

Someone dropped my name into the pool and I became one of the people charged with thinking up events for the day.


We put together some events like a cafe tray race, bedpan races, box folding and stuff like that....

In the office I grabbed a german gal, a white temp, a thai gal, black dude and me. We were a rainbow coalition......


We ended up kicking arse up and down and ended up being cheated out of the top spots because the AH that ran the clinic had to combine three teams
to make one team to beat us, I tried to get a fair ruling on the changes but you cannot fight city hall.

I know we won that day, and I had a great time, we also used to play ball against the doctor's and would wipe out butts with them..LOL, Slick? maybe that's where I found comfort with having a head my rear!

Check it out.

I live my life on the "safe side".

When I see kids that are pulled into 'adult situations' I worry about them becoming part of the detritus that us adults leave laying around. The kids last night were well behaved, but imagine having a kid running around and falling?

I used to coach a female soft ball team and an adult league team.

I can tell you that I hated dealing with the kids around the field. Thrown and hit balls, thrown bats, kids wandering away or breating the crap out of each other. I know, it's the Olympics and such....there's security and people around.

They games this year were kinda muted by the deaths of people around it.
A participant, the mother of an athlete and Koenig/Boner, who had no part of the games, yet takes his life in the city where they are being held?


Things like that are not fair, especially when the world shows up at your doorstep looking to escape the BS of everyday living.

You all have valid points.



But I wanted AMERICAN CHEESE on my sandwich, not Swiss!
