Olympics...it's worth the wait.

Ok, so another 4 years have past and it is that time...The Olympics. What a great year 2008 will be. It started last night with the opening ceremonies. I got a chance to watch it tonight thanks to our good friends having Tivo (yes, I'm still in like '98 and have no dvr). I have to say, everything I read about the ceremony was true...it was awesome. China has outdone themselves. Ok, so don't laugh but there was an American who has outdone themself also. No, I'm not talking about Phelps, who once again is going for Spitz's record of metals. No, I'm not talking about Lebron James who is trying to redeem his performance on the last Olympic B-ball team. No, I'm not talking about the dynamic duo of May/Walsh. I'm talking about the infamous Ralph Lauren. I mean did you see the "Parade of Nations" aka: The best Polo commercial of the year? Awesome. It's about time that an all-American brand sponsors the American team. Anyone remember ROOTS? Yeah, they are Canadian. Really?? Ok, back to the Pony. Not only is this partnership good for RL (in terms of business) it's good for the US. The athletes came out looking sharp, sophisticated, classic and All-American.

What was the best part about their uniform?.......You guessed it, the white chino "Driving Cap" (not a beret, as every poorly dressed commentator referred to it as...ROOTS that was a beret, get it right). Sorry. Anyways, as you might think, my first thought when I saw them was "I have got to have one". So like a million other patriotic Americans who love style I purchased my very own Driving Cap today.


You may be wondering where you can get one. Here's a clue for you... Polo.com. Point, click, and be stylish. Now, just hope you get it before the Olympics ends. You should have it in time for the closing ceremonies (where the ,once again "Drivng Caps" are optional for the athletes). Ok, I'm done talking about how great the athletes looked. Now it's on to the games!!!! Go Team USA!!

What's the deal?

So I saw this when I was in NJ a couple weeks ago. I took a picture hoping that someone could tell me what this is all about. I mean I know its a fire hydrant, but why does it have an antenna attached to it? Does it pick up radio stations? Do you know why?

Bend It Like Beckham

You may not be a soccer fan but you know who David Beckham is. Last night he was in Dallas with his team that has entirely to much money. But anyways...it was pretty cool to see this phenom in action. It was interesting, every time he would touch the ball he got boo'd but at the same time the place lit up with flash bulbs. Also, he can help pack a soccer game. This was the best soccer game I have been to. Dallas beat LA 4-0. If you get a chance to experience one, do it

NJ - Garden State

So my whole life I have wondered why New Jersey was called the Garden State. Now I know why, I've found the Garden, it even has a green house.
(Ok so I haven't actually wondered my whole life)

PG-13

Driving to work today I heard an ad for a movie. The closing line said "May not be appropriate for children under 13". It made me think... Why 13? What automatically makes it appropriate for a child to see this movie when they turn 13 opposed to the day before when they were 12? What if the movie really isn't appropriate for a 14 year old but we have a bunch of 13 year olds watching it? Makes one think doesn't it? Ok maybe it makes me think, but when I'm in the car for an hour +... I have the time. Now go out and see a movie that is age appropriate.

Lisa and I are enjoying the weekend in Houston with our new nephew Reilly and his parents. Rob and Katie have made a cute baby. We have another day to spend with them. Rob heads back to Iraq on Monday, so pray for their family.
