the xxx olympiad

one of my first memories of coming to america in 1980 was all the controversy going around about the united states boycotting the moscow summer olympics that summer. it was my personal summer of eye opening change and revolution and the beginning of my interest in the world of international sports and politics.  
this year's summer olympic games kick off tonight in london and i'm a kid in a candy store, excited for two full weeks of swimming, diving, track & field, gymnastics and soccer viewing.
have a gold, silver and bronze filled weekend!
