The HB made it back yesterday. He had a great time and he claims that he got some sleep (but was vague about when his slumber started). It was fun hanging with him yesterday and we talked a bit about what we wanted to do tonight.
If you're interested, you know by now that Michael Phelps tied Mark Spitz's record of 7 gold medals at a single Olympics by winning the 100 meter butterfly by .01 seconds. How he completed a stroke while the Milorad Cavic was reaching for the wall is beyond me.
Before the race Cavic, who's apparently a slow learner despite being a Berkeley grad, said that it would be good for swimming if Phelps didn't win the 8 golds. Why on earth would he piss Phelps off? Didn't he learn anything from the French? You can also throw Cavic into the sore loser category with this quote (from the NY Times), “If we got to do this again, I would win it.” Uh-huh.
Phelps has one more race, the team 4x100 medley relay (he'll swim the 100 butterfly). It's a race the US has never lost in the Olympics.
