I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance. Never settle for the path of least resistance. Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin'. Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin'.
The Olympics officially started today. It was very exciting to watch Michael Phelps. He won the 400 IM by a landslide. I, however, am a fan of Ian Thorpe. He did magnificently today, too, though. Although his 400 free was much closer than Michael's IM. In 8th grade Meredith Shepard had a major crush on Ian Thorpe- and the scary art teacher Mr. Johnson had a newspaper picture of him on his door. Emmy Smith stole it for Meredith, and we all thought it was very brave. Meredith sure did like that picture, though. (And Mr. JOhnson supposedly had it coming) Tyler Hammilton didn't do too bad in the road race, either. He didn't quit- which was an improvement from his last attempt at a race. =) I love you anyway, Tyler. He placed 18th- Georgie Hincapie was 24th. Besides- it wasn't really a Tyler-like race. In his interview at the end, he said he wished it was "more difficult and more selective". Tyler can't hang with the sprinters- he has to have a hill to climb. Good luck to all those athletes who are competing tomorrow.
