i understand every word.

the summer program at my school is a bit different from the regular school year. there are less kids, and more "summery" lesson plans. we usually order curriculum and use it, but during the summer my boss prints random stuff off the internet for us to use.

it might take a minute for what i'm about to say to sink in. there is only a punch line. nothing else. so just give yourself a few extra seconds.

my boss wants us to plan some activities with an olympic theme, because the summer olympics are in beijing this year.

......

waiting for it...

wait. what's this? the greatest sports moment of all time (yes, i really do think so), in beijing? at the summer olympics? a year ago?



i don't think i'm smarter than my boss or anything, i'm not trying to say that.

i thought it was funny-ish, and also felt like reliving the summer of phelps.

50.58 was his time, 50.59 was the second place guy.

WOW.

that wasn't even his record-setting 8th gold medal. i think it's the greatest sports moment because of how close it was, and how far behind he was before the last few seconds.

WOW.

i do love the olympics. which are happening in just a couple weeks!

ok, i'm done.
