The Olympics

No votes yet

After much press and politics surrounding the Olympics it finally kicked off last Friday with another brilliant and interesting opening ceremony. In this blog I am going to be talking about my thoughts on the Olympics as a whole and not about the rights or wrongs of holding this years event in Beijing.

This just in...
Jim called his wife, Hlee, from the summit of Everest at 8 a.m. (summit time, 8 p.m Mountain Time in the States), to say, "We're at the summit. We made it!"
Hlee asked that I post this on Jim's behalf. That's all the information we have now.
Jim, congratulations! In fact, congratulations to the entire team whom we have come to know through your blog and videos. We are sending good wishes for your safe descent and return home.
Well done,
Ken
