life in a small town

I don't know which is more annoying - seeing blue & maize clad athletes carrying another enormous trophy away from Penn State on the plane (well, two, actually, apparently, for men and women's gymnasts); or the fact that it even crossed my mind to care what team won a sports competition...

There are real benefits to being at a university where you know sports don't matter at all, ever.

As for the guy who was disappointed when I sat next to him instead of one of the female gymnasts: he was wearing an OSU sweater, she was UoM - ain't gonna happen...

I was also reminded of why I never fly out of Philly if I can help it.
Worst layed out airport ever. And the flight was of course delayed. No first officer.

Somehow it also always rains when I arrive in Chicago.

Did I mention I hate travelling?

I know the olympics are basically over. Really, I should have posted this earlier. Anyway, the gymnastics feat that always impresses me is the Iron Cross (I think that is what it is called). I know you have seen this, but here is a picture from wikipedia:
