The Olympics are coming (perhaps you’ve heard?)
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008Fig Jam
I really enjoy the Olympics. I think one reason is all the obscure events that I could envision myself, under the right set of circumstances, being a world class competitor in. In the more mainstream sports, I have been forced to accept the limits of my own mortality, and have come to understand that I really couldn’t, under any set of circumstances, expect to live (actually survive) through one game. There would be that sickening moment where I suffered some variety of gruesome injury and then sheets would be held up around me as I was euthanized.
