Weekend Highlights
Posted by michellemoquin on 25th August 2008
How was the weekend?
Lots happened it seems….I got a text message at 1:53 am on Saturday morning announcing that Obama chose Biden as his VP. Hmm…I guess someone thinks I’m important enough to get the word out :)

We haven’t had a chance to talk about it but what does everyone think about Biden? He has many years under his belt, especially in foreign policy, an area that many feel Obama could use a little help in. I’m all for it. Secretly I was hoping for Hillary but with the way she was campaigning against Obama, it seems there was little chance he was going to pick her. Unless…her backing down had anything to do with him choosing her for VP – evidently not. At this point I am up for anyone who can bring Obama closer to just getting in. Hopefully Biden is the right choice. We’ll soon see….
On another note…did you see the closing ceremony of the Olympics last night? I have to hand it to the Chinese – they ended it with an amazing show. Overall the best opening and closing shows I have ever seen….hands down. The creativity was endless, and I would love to know who all the choreographers were. Brill!
It was cool to see the highlights – those are always fun. I got into watching many more of the sports this year than in previous years. Love the field and track. Especially the Jamaican winner ? Bolt? Damn that guy can run! Could he have a more perfect name? He is so elegant and effortless.

May and Walch, the dynamic volleyball duo, as usual had me glued to the TV but I missed the finals – too late for me :( And Phelps…could he clean up any more so? I hear he is destined to make more money in the next few years than any other sports figure - I guess we’ll be seeing him in every ad from Speedo to Wheaties…oh that’s right, he decided to go with Frosted Flakes instead.

Although, being a competing gymnast when I was younger, my all time favorite has always been the women’s gymnastics. Funny though, I didn’t get into it this year too much. I saw the highlight of gold medalist for floor exercise, Romania’s Sandra Izbasa and I witnessed America’s gold medalist Shawn Johnson on the beam, but I have to say as talented as they are in executing all of those crazy twisting moves, they didn’t inspire me much. Technically, it was all there but I felt they were lacking in spark and personality. Olga and Nadia they are not.
Readers: Your favs? Thoughts on anything this Monday morning?
Have a good one….peace out.
Gratefully your blog host,
