:clap:...loved TFT's confession! I would have been way over the moon if you had been a synchronized swimmer girl! I just love all that makeup, slicked back hair and the NOSEPLUGS...really fires me up! :D

I am thinking this could be a SoWal.com sponsored team. Could we practice in secret at the back Watercolor pool?

Did not think I would ever say this based on his previous behavior off the court, but Kobe did himself and the US proud in an interview last night. :clap:

The announcer asked him it was cool to be excited and proud to be an Olympic athlete and he rightly said he was very proud to represent the USA in basketball.

That in past years the team has not taken the right attitude about the games and this team would be very different.

I was very pleased with his comments.

I have also been impressed with the warm reception, even during the gymnastics when it became obvious the Chinese girl was going to lose to the Americans, of how appreciative the audience is off all the participants.

Sorry...I gotta play Miss Kitty here...
It's Kobe!

Torres missed the gold by 1/100th of a sec. From the top it looked like she touched first...

Dara Torres, 50M freestyle silver: 41 years old.

Conclusion: I'm not too old to medal in an Olympic event. Very exciting.

Thank you, your right.:blink: I had a student named Colby Bryant and I guess I just typed without even thinking.

You may correct my spelling anytime. :clap:

I missed it. But when you say London rocked the house, are you referring to Jimmy Page? I read where he was going to perform at the closing ceremonies and it just now occurred to me that they meant London. :dunno:

Tonight's closing ceremonies were just as wonderful though so different from the opening! I like it that on closing day, it's all about the atheletes, that's it's their party. As it should be.

I have to confess that when the London double-decker came out, I was wondering how soon I should start buttering up Merman's brother so he'll save a room in his house for us. Only a short train ride into the city and I could see the Olympics up close and personal...:love::clap::love:
