Olympic Break

Any minute now I am going to begin that two week period where I become an expert in so many sports and ignore everything else on earth. I think it is fabulous that the summer Olympics come in the same year as our presidential elections.

This pause in other news gives us a chance to celebrate what is great in the world and stop arguing. It makes us focus on young people who have spent a lifetime perfecting something. We learn the stories of athletes from all over the world and how they came to be Olympians.

I love following underdogs from small nations. I love learning the ins and outs of obscure sports. I love the honesty of Olympic Sports. I pray for no intrigue and no cheating.

I love the human interest stories and getting to see the beauty of the host country. I love Paris and can’t wait to spend two weeks immersing myself in all things Paris 2024.
