Today in sports

Happy 40th birthday, Mary Lou Retton. It's amazing; when I was younger, I would watch hours and hours of the Olympics. Now? I can figure out that there's a Summer Olympics this year, because the year is divisible by four, but I don't have any idea where or when.

But when that little 16-year-old firecracker from West Virginia did her thing in 1984, I was into it (keep in mind, I was only 13 myself).

She even got her face on a Wheaties box. A gymnast! On a Wheaties box!

Nice blog man! I'll bookmark it at home. Don't let it die.

Worry not; I shan't let it die. By the way, I've since remembered that the Olympics this year are in Beijing. I still don't know when, but I'm guessing summer.
