I’m still in awe of how the U.S. men finished the 400 freestyle relay. There’s a lot of things that helped make that the greatest swim race in history, but the one fact that still amazes me was that the team that came in 5th place still beat the previous world record of 3:12.23, and here are the results of the record breakers of that race:
1. U.S. – 3:08.24
2. France – 3:08.32
3. Australia – 3:09.91
4. Italy – 3:11.48
5. Sweden – 3:11.92 Source
I really didn’t care much for Michael Phelps until this race when I saw his raw emotion come out.
I really like the green world record line NBC has been using for the swimming events. Overall, their coverage has been fantastic.
Is it me, or is there a certain buzz about this Olympics? And we still have track and field to go.
One example of what I meant when I stated that the Asian culture is often made fun of.
I’m surprised Madden is no longer an announcer on his own game.
Over the weekend, a college friend of mine celebrated her one year anniversary of being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. You can read about her journey here. I’m sure women of faith would greatly benefit from it. Being an early 30’s mom with three young kiddos and cancer would rock anyone’s world, but not surprisingly, she handled the whole thing gracefully. I’m sure she would recall that I was the very first person to buy her alcohol on her 21st birthday shortly after midnight I think, on a Baptist campus. Egad!
I saw that Kerri Walsh lost her wedding ring during sand volleyball play. Lucky for her slow-mo instant replay and metal detectors were there to help her out.
I finally found the answer to what that check box does in iTunes. Check out #7.
The majority of the light bulbs in GeedingManor are energy efficient. Those bulbs have come a long way. They aren’t as big and you can choose from a florescent or natural shine.
Wow…thanks for observing my anniversary. What an honor to be on BON! And just for the record–that bottle of whiskey was the most awesome birthday gift I ever received and is the reason we can be lifelong friends.
Thanks for the “Where is Bob?” referral. I worked for a character like this in the past. What was amazing was that the more he flaunted his own boss by not showing up, the further the uber-boss let him go. At the uber-executive levels they took an attitude that “Bob” needed help and they weren’t going to just cut him loose but instead rehabilitate him. He never was rehabilitated and the rest of us had to work harder and became more demoralized because Bob needed increasing amounts of time away from the office to deal with “personal matters”
What’s worse: that the entire Spanish basketball team and coaches posed for this picture, which was to appear in magazines and newspapers, or the fact that after doing it they saw no offense in doing it?
Enjoying the Bag of Randomness. 100X better than the twitter experiment.
The Spanish Basketball team picture is a disgrace.

Random Olympic observation. Men should never do anything syncronized. It reminds me of Ace and Gary the “Ambiguously Gay Duo” on Saturday Night Live.
