As much as I’d like to pretend that my aging stopped at 22, it didn’t, and I recognize that I cannot operate like a sprinter all the time. At least, I can’t do it without steroids, and we all know how I feel about that. [...] [...] And so, my personal quest for 2008 is to find ways to take better care of myself.

I ran distance in high school. I follow track and field events to this day even though other than snowboarding and skiing I do not have much interest in sports. I was not surprised at the admission either. I'M rather an avid gardener, or at least as much of one as I can be using a plot of land a few blocks away from my apartment.

And I feel exactly the same way. Also, I too spent hours watching the Olympics and having my own pretend gymnastics show, (except it was for an earlier Olympics! I was of the Olga and Nadia era!) but I think I watched in the same den and on the same patio! Thank you for bringing back that memory for me. Also, do you know what happened with the Community Farms vote? Katherine Really great post, Genie!
