A man has dreams of walking with giants.
To carve his niche in the edifice of time.
Before the mortar of his zeal
Has a chance to congeal
The cup is dashed from his lips!
The flame is snuffed a-borning.
He's brought to wrack and ruin in his prime.
That scence from Mary Poppins is quite moving, I must say. However- the last scene is the most tear-jerking. (but- I can hardely call Mary Poppins tear-jerking, I'm afraid.) The Olympics yesterday were FANTASTIC Cycling was ULTRA exciting. 3 people from Boulder won medals. Dede Barry (far left) won silver in the women's time trial. I saw her race at the Boulder Stage Race. She raced against Mrs. Cady. =) Van Moorsel won that- even after a bad (although not horrible) crash on the road race. AND Bobby Julich got 3rd in the men's time trial. That was great- but guess who won gold...? You'll never guess! Okay, you're right- TYLER HAMILTON- my man! WOWWOWOWOWOWOWOW. Good for him! He even dedicated his race to his dog... May Tugboat rest in piece
Natalie Coughlin, Carly Piper, Dana Vollmer and Kaitlin Sandeno did a FABULOUS job in the 800 free relay. It was very exciting. I always like to watch the girls do just as well as the boys. =) Ian got a bronze in the 100 freestyle- despite his being seated 8th in the finals. Van de Hoogenband (still, a stellar name) snatched gold. They swim SO fast. DID I MENTION TYLER WON GOLD?????!!!!
