<p>My 61 year old brother is going to be in the closing ceremonies (no athletics involved). He tried out for a lark, never thinking he would get in. It is making me even more excited about the Olympics. Hope i can spot him on our TV - may have to go to my daughter and son in law’s and watch on their big screem.</p>
<p>How exciting!</p>

<p>My D’s have concluded that she looks like an American Girl doll.</p>
<p>D sent me this historic video:</p>

<p>Shrinkrap–he was a sophomore in HIGH SCHOOL–which was even more amazing.</p>
<p>From today’s NYT:
<a href=“Pistorius Will Be on South Africa’s Olympic Team - The New York Times”>Pistorius Will Be on South Africa’s Olympic Team - The New York Times;
<p>Pistorius will be running with the South African track team in London.</p>
<p>Saw Pistorius run at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene last month. His prostheses are so cool-- like cheetah legs. He finished well behind everyone in his race, however. I don’t think he’s made the qualifying time very easily or often. But it will be a neat story, and it’s amazing to watch him run.</p>
