Jayhawk in Texas

I grew up in Kansas. But one job hunt and hiring later, we are now transplants in Texas. We have not missed the strange weather we were used to and everybody here seems genuinely nice. This is my attempt to keep in touch with my friends from all over.

Is anyone else enjoying the Olympics as much as me?


I am absolutely enjoying the May-Treanor/Walsh volleyball team win during the Olympics. It has been great watching them play. Last night was another fantastic set. They seem unstoppable. And I really hope they are - I would love to see them win the gold again this Olympics as well. They are poetry in motion.
Speaking of poetry in motion...I also really liked watching Michael Phelps swim to 8 gold medals. That was a treat to watch.
Each olympic, there is one sport that grabs my attention and for some reason I watch that sport throughout the games. This year it was beach volleyball and swimming. Volleyball becasue I love playing it myself and swimming, because well it just grabbed me this year. To watch Phelps accomplish what he did is utterly amazing.
The year Mary Lou Retton won in gymnastics, was the Olympic I watched that. The thing I enjoy about them is that it gives me a chance to watch a sport or event that I might never have watched unless it was in the olympics. However, I doubt you will get me to watch table tennis, trampoline jumping, or badminton (I even had to look that one up on how to spell it). But I get to watch some great atheletes pursue their dreams.
