.canoe americana?

two things:

one) is it hard to read this blog when the font is white and the background is brown? i like the way it looks, but is it user-friendly?

two) have you ever jumped on a trampoline so high you did two flips and three twists? if so then you could win a gold medal. seriously. it's simply called "trampoline". tom, sam, brooks and i watched a lot of this tonight. they wear little white socks and jump 40 feet high. it's definitely better than the equestrian competitions. please, those horses deserve some clover and a break. http://www.nbcolympics.com/trampoline/index.html

and since i'm on the topic of the olympics, what's with usain bolt of jamaica showing off before he finished the race? he's fast, sure, but doesn't he realize that record will be broken next week? he should've finished the race instead of showboating (as some might call it). i'm disappointed.

who am i not disappointed in? the u.s.a. softball team (they're reminding the world why this isn't an olympic sport: no one can touch them); the sand volleyball teams (the women and men are exciting to watch. have you ever run on sand?); and the women's soccer competition, specifically brazil (the u.s. is good but i'm thinking marta is going to show everyone [pay attention, boys] what soccer looks like)

hope you're enjoying the summer games. we're getting a kick out of seeing the best athletes in the world put on a show. it makes me want to go exercise...or go to sleep.
