Anxiously awaiting breakfast following their walk.

Good morning!  Well....maybe better for some than others.  Poor Brian is sick!  All yesterday and the day before he's been feeling terrible.  He's supposed to go to a Mets game with some of his coworkers tonight so hopefully he can take a little Dayquil and actually enjoy the game.  I'm sort of anxiously awaiting when I will begin feeling symptoms.  I don't think in my entire life history I've been the one who is NOT sick....it's only a matter of time.  *Please not just before vacation*

It finally took a cooler turn this morning.  The Park was lovely - about 72 degrees, breezy, and blue-skied - lots of people out enjoying it all. 

I've been loving these Olympics.  Is anyone else obsessively watching them?  I absolutely love the swimming, track & field, and beach volleyball.  I'm a little sad that Michael Phelps is not going to be returning now that he's competed in his 4th Olympics and has 22 medals.  I remember watching the Sydney Olympics in the sunroom of my parents house in Gettysburg 16 years ago.  I can't believe it was that long ago, but I remember watching Michael Phelps swim as a 15 year old.  I watched him in awe in Athens, then Beijing and now London.  I've always had a lot of admiration for him.  I'm particularly into the women's track & field events lately.  Allyson Felix, Carmelita Jeter, Lashinda Demus are all such incredible athletes - I'm glued to the screen.  I hope you all are enjoying them, too!

Have a great day!
