The Beijing Olympics

Are you as amazed with the U.S. swimmers as I am?

My sister Dorothy called me last night and the first thing out of her mouth was: "Did they put crack in the pool?"

It seems that every gold medal comes with a world record.

And that Michael Phelps is amazing. He eats like I'd love to eat. But I don't dare.

What about the men's synchronized diving? Is that the dumbest thing?

If they allow that, why not men's synchronized swimming?

There's a Japanese movie called "Water Boys" about a high school boys' synchronized swimming team. It's one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. There's a sequel, but it's not as good as the first one.

Again, I'll be up late, watching the Olympics.
