More Olympica

I am very appreciative of the Olympics. In truth, I am mildly interested in most events, but basketball and biking and volleyball and swimming kept me company, as I sieved through piles and piles of paper and tiny objects that may or may not need saving. I found the opening ceremonies a little outrageous and almost silly, but I suppose that the organizers wanted to make an impact, which they were successful with. The bottom line is that I am very much entertained by the talent of the athletes, and  watching them helps me slog through the tasks on my list.

I imagine that Tara is there in London, perhaps at events, perhaps watching on big screens in the park, right in the middle of the action. Maya and I will be in London for the last four days of the Olympics, and will participate however we possible can. I was hoping to get tickets, but the prices are beyond me.

Now it is late and I ought to sleep, but men's gymnastics is actually entertaining, and I am inspired and have left my piles for tomorrow.

I celebrated my birthday with Emily tonight at Cinghiale; the food was good, the wine was wonderful, and it was great to be in downtown Baltimore with all the action and activity!
