Default Let the Laughing Begin

LOL Pat Tillman!


:-) But even a casual reading of the "social networks" seems to prove
my point :-)


Actually I was reacting to what I wanted to react to not exactly what you said.
What trips me out is when people say you make your own reality. Certainly it is a lovely thought and a lovely thing to say to someone seeking inspiration, and certainly the Olympic gold medalist subscribes to the theory. But where does that leave the silver medalist? Who believed and believed and believed and busted and busted and busted their ass?
Derek Porter was my first rowing hero. He was in an 8 that got a gold in 92, and was world champ in 93, IIRC, and thot 96 was his year. Look at him try to hold back the tears on the podium in 96* and again in 00.

*It is well worth watching the whole race, for other reasons.
