School Friends and the Swimming Phenom

Filed under: That random stuff — DonnaB at 10:48 pm on Saturday, August 16, 2008

I met four of my high school buddies for lunch today. One I had not seen since we walked across the stage at graduation 33 years ago! We all talked fast and furiously for a couple of hours and probably could still be talking well into this night if not for other commitments. It was fun and we’ve vowed to do it again and again!

My lunch dates today and I were in high school when Mark Spitz won his seven gold medals and I remember then what a feat that was. As most people said during that magical time, I agreed it was a feat that would never be broken. You know… it is nice to be wrong for a change. Did you see Michael Phelps win his record setting eighth gold medal? He is a joy to watch and his story is one that is worth reading if you know nothing at all about him. Dreams really do come true, you just have to dare to dream them!

Gosh, I bet that was fun! How did this all come about?

I have not watched much, but did see some of the swimming last night and the 25 mile run. I was worn out from mowing the back yard and watching them. :) Chet and Martha came and we watched it while they were here.
Have a great day!!

Haven’t watched much of the Olympics, but I have been watching his races online. Awesome achievement.
