My sister is getting taunty emails and photographs from physical therapist cousin in the Olympic Village. Frankly, I think she deserves it. She would do it to me.
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

I decided not to watch the opening ceremonies--but I can hear them from the living room--because I despise commentators so much.
I remember Jim McKay. I remember watching him in '72, when he said he'd been pulled from the pool and still had his swim trunks on under his suit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is that Matt Damon for TD Ameritrade?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Because books.
I think Danny Boyle was tripping balls when he wrote this, but I sort of liked it. Rowan Atkinson was awesome, and the beds that made the moon. And Mary Poppins, of course.

I can't believe we're only on C in the parade of nations.
