Delawareans in the Olympics!

Congratulations to Delaware high school products Carrie Lingo of Cape Henlopen and Katelyn Falgowski of St. Marks for their performances for the United Stated field hockey team in the Beijing games. The Americans finished 1-1-3 in pool play and did not advance to the to the medal round. It was nice to see some local kids compete in the games. I'm sure the atheletes nd their families will never forget the last 2 weeks.

Olympic fever!

Is it just me or have the 2008 Beijing games been about the most captivating television you can remember? I've never really been in to any Olympics prior to this year and now I'm watching practically all of the events. Swimming, beach volleyball, gymnastics, water polo, even team handball. The games have been fantastic since the opening ceremonies. Hopefully week 2 will be just as exciting.
