My cousin in the Olympics
« on: July 28, 2012, 02:15:36 PM »
Just thought I'd mention that my cousin will be competing in the 100 meter breaststroke tomorrow.

Well, she was an American girl, raised on promises.
She couldn't help thinking that there was a little more to life, somewhere else.
After all it was a great big world, with lots of places to run to.
And if she had to die trying she had one little promise she was gonna keep.

Wow, just seeing this post now.  I've been watching swimming all day today--tell him congrats, and that I'm glad he beat Kitajima! :)

Thanks, all!  We are quite proud of him. :D  There are about 175 people on my Dad's side of the family :o, so he had a lot of family routing for him (even if nearly all are in the states).
