It sure looks like one. I think John would make a fine McDonalds-sponsored athlete. I just have to add on an unrelated note that you would not believe how biased the media in Sydney is toward their athletes. Watching the triathlon on TV yesterday, it sounded like the announcers thought they could actually will their athletes into to the front by listing their accomplishments and where "they would typically be" at this point in the race. They also interviewed Phelps after his 7th gold, an Olympic record but not a world record. The reporter's first question: "How does it feel to miss the world record?" Unbelievable.

Actually, I'm much happier to share a room with my cat and sleep in a bigger bed. Or last nght I was. Now I'm sharing a room with three fish and a really nice homestay. Oh, Kevie, I miss you too!

That's ridiculous. The room here is a lot emptier without you and Peter and Jeremy. I miss you guys! However, I was able to turn your bed into a nifty bike storage area. Good luck this weekend, you're fit! 100 degrees?! That’s ridiculous. The room here is a lot emptier without you and Peter and Jeremy. I miss you guys!
