Oh Burrell, so sorry.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Argh, Burrell-- hate times like that.
Watching the Olympics, I have my new favorite-- Raj Bhavsar on the Men's Gymnastic's team. Two times in a row thinking he's going to make the team, everyone telling him he's going to make the team and he doesn't make the team, only making it at the last minute this year due to Paul Hamm pulling out and now, he's just kicked ass on the rings.
Dude, I can so relate. Plus, one of my favorite characters I ever wrote, named-- Raj.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Also, Raj is adorable.

I am still catching up on the stuff from this afternoon. Roadrace.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
God, watching the gymnastics makes my hands and feet sweat! Back to The Wire -- much more relaxing.
I will never forget the one meet I went to in college to see a friend -- it was the most terrifying thing I've ever seen! They just fling their little bodies around those tiny pieces of wood, and somehow it mostly works out.

Oh, hon, you're adorable too, but you know the shallow tag never closes.

The things they prove the human body can do amaze me. I guess it was the '84 Olympics (Retton?) that had all the neighborhood kids on our swingset, risking life and limb. Several sprains, dislocated shoulders and collarbones and lots of skinned things among us (I just skinned things.) I can remember what my body could do back then, but can't do now. At least I still am bendy and can fold up like I used to.

Jeez louise -- my mother just called, and my father's in the hospital. I guess he fainted this afternoon, and then was so dizzy that eventually they took him to the hospital in an ambulance. My mother doesn't seem to think it's anything horrible, but still. Overnight in the hospital does not mean good things. And they are supposed to be going to California on Wednesday.
Nice thing: a couple of their neighbors called to see if there was anything they could do to help. That makes me feel good.
Funny thing: my father was supposed to preach at their church tomorrow (their minister takes the summer off). So they got a sub, who's actually a pretty famous theologian. Only the best can replace my father!
Anyway, hold a good thought, would you?
