The 2008 Olympics are completed. Gold runs in the streets of Beijing. The final ceremony was almost as spectacular as the opening one. Incredible images!

The end of last week and the weekend passed in a haze. I stayed up late several nights watching the final efforts of the athletes. It was inspiring--the payoffs for hard work and dedication.

August winds down. This final week will see the launch of the political Olympics, and the deluge of political droning from the media. This too shall pass, but painfully no doubt!

Off to BH's/GH's today for a luscious lunch and movie. Clear blue skies! RB's in town! Will meet him for dinner some night this week. PD exercise class this week and an acupressure session since LM's back in town. Finishing up my reading--time to pick up some more books. The beat goes on!
