Excitement You Can't Beat

I made fun of Olympic swimming in an earlier post. Well, even though I still wouldn't mind a 400 dog paddle relay, to be serious for a moment, that 400 men's freestyle relay was about as exciting a race as I have ever seen in my life. Nearly as exciting was Katie Hoff's loss just earlier, in similar fashion in the 400 individual freestyle (leading much of the way, then losing by just :07).

I also feel blessed that I am married to a former D-I college swimmer. When your wife is as excited as you are (even more?) while watching a sporting event, that's pretty cool!
