Indeed! I have a whole new appreciation for synchro now :) “Olympics” would be a fun Fluid Movement water ballet theme…

I love your blog! Very inspiring. Glad you liked the Olympics. I worked the Games in Beijing — I was at first dreading it — but the experience was fantastic. The Western media spins a much different Beijing than the one I experienced for six weeks.
I’ll be back!
