There was a story on the news last night about Dara Torres. It was amazing enough that she won three silver medals swimming against girls half her age. Now it turns out she was also swimming with bone spurs and a partially torn rotator cuff!!! 
She is my new hero!
And we have more archaeology news.

I spent the better part of yesterday wrangling with my Internet service. Which I still don’t have except for the neighbor’s. My ISP tried to blame my computer and told me to call Apple. I was 99% sure he didn’t know what he was talking about, but I called Apple anyway. The guy there assured me I was right and the ISP was wrong. Hah! 
But there were some other things I wanted to double-check before I yell at the ISP. So far, I’m of the opinion that the modem, the router, and my Airport express (an Apple wireless doohickey) may all three have problems. But I’m going to yell at the ISP anyway for wasting my time telling me it was my computer. Idiots. [»]

Well, it was a great Olympics, in my opinion! (But the Bird’s Nest is still the ugliest stadium I’ve ever laid eyes on!) But I can’t believe the last event they showed in prime time was the men’s volleyball game from yesterday! The outcome wasn’t exactly a surprise. 
I finally broke down and watched another recorded show instead.
According to the news, however, this Olympics (the whole shebang not just the volleyball) was the most watched event in U.S. TV history!
I’ve got a lot to say today, so hold on to your hats! [»]
