A Year Ago Today...

U.S. Olympic swimming champion Michael Phelps won a record 19th Olympic medal, with gold in the 4x200metres freestyle relay in London.  During the Games, Phelps became the most decorated Olympic athlete of all time, winning up to his 22nd medal.  Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Brunei entered female athletes for the first time, so that every currently eligible country has sent a female competitor to at least one Olympic Games.  Women's boxing was included for the first time, thus the Games became the first at which every sport had female competition.

In other news of the day, I am totally jealous that my sister is motoring off to the Oregon coast today to spend a couple of nights there relaxing and enjoying a favorite destination of both hers and mine.  Alas, I cannot complain too much as I was just there over a week ago, but still I am stuck in an office and not able to be out there having fun.  Have a great time Janet.
