Now Eddie is seriously rocking that look, is he not?

I’m going a little crazy from the heat (45 days of triple digit heat so far and plenty more in the forecast, not that I’m counting). It’s fair to say that I’m probably just going a little crazy. Not that it’s a long trip or anything.

Call me curious.

I didn’t believe that the Olympics we were watching were truly “Live.”

“No,” I said, “they just put that on there. They filmed this earlier today in Beijing.

So then I went to the web site, and waddya know, it was actually live.

(and aren’t y’all proud of me for not plastering beach volleyball pics everywhere? see? Restraint.)
