The Olympics Begin

...and I just don't care right now. I have other things on my mind. I'm getting ready for our big day today. I'll be packing my bags in a few minutes to go to the fields but right now I'm just trying to find my focus. I am optimistic but also realistic. I will be happy with whatever the outcome is today but will be a bit disappointed at the same time if we don't get the gold.

Last night was trading night and I think I made some pretty good steals. Of course the Colombian guy who gave up his national team jersey for my four year old Goat jersey is probably thinking I'm a gringo sucka.

The big news yesterday (apart from us) was that the Aussie men lost to the GB team. I think the Aussies expected to at least make it to the semis. While I'm sure they wanted to spend the night drinking, their national pride will probably carry them to 5th place today. None the less, they were crushed at being eliminated. I would be too if I invested as much time and money as they did into the team.

It looks like another sunny, hot and humid day. Perfect weather to score a medal.
