1) Seeing the contemporary jazz trumpeter, Chris Botti, perform on Sunday.
2) The behind the scenes story of the Singaporean swimmer, Joseph Schooling, who beat Michael Phelps in the 100 meter butterfly. It was a poignant moment since Schooling was a fan of Phelps when he was a boy.
3) I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing older Olympics participate in the Olympics.

I have been having a blast watching the Olympics -- all of the athletes are so incredibly talented! Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Happy belated Friday to you, too!
DeleteI love seeing the older athletes too, and I hadn't seen Sarah Robles but now I LOVE her too!
ReplyDeleteThere have been several more older athletes that have done well. I think there was a woman from Spain who is 38 and won a gold medal in a track and field event. These athletes have really made me proud!
DeleteWent straight to Audible!
ReplyDeleteDidn't see anything I really wanted though, so I'll just want for my new credits to roll out next month :)
Yeah, that's the thing with many of Audible's sales. I have, however, lucked up and discovered some new to me authors this way. Have a good one!
DeleteI too am also enjoying the older limping competing at the Olympics this summer. It's been a great games hasn't it?
ReplyDeleteCheers to a great weekend Ericka :)
