Sports. Sports. Sports.

How many times in your life can you say that you know exactly where you will be in seven year's time?  Well, seven years ago today, it was announced that the 2012 Olympics would be in London and I knew that without a doubt, I would be here.  People tell me I'm lucky that I don't have a family or a job to keep me away, but that's bollocks!  I would be here no matter what and if I was lucky enough to have a wife and children, they'd be here right with me.

Olympic fever is everywhere!

The Opening Ceremonies are still three weeks away, but there is plenty of hype.  If my Kansas City friends are getting tired of the All-Star Game promo's, think times ten and you've got the hype here.  EVERYTHING is Olympic related!  We've also got Wimbledon and Le Tour de France to enjoy.

Scotland's Andy Murray has just qualified for the finals and will take on Roger Federer on Sunday with the weight of a nation upon his shoulders.  Quick lesson for my American friends . . . England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland have separate identities under many classifications, but together they form the Great Britain or the United Kingdom.  Andy Murray is the first man from Great Britain to make the final since 1936, so he is everyone's home town hero this week.

Le Tour de France has also completed its first few stages and is about to approach its first mountain range.  If you're watching each morning, you might see me before it's all over!  I will be heading to France for the final mountain stages of the Tour and as long as I make it safely back from Spain, I will be in Paris for the ride along the Champs-Élysées.

    I am glad you are getting this thing going again; I tried to send a text but it didn't make it through.

    I love reading your blog. You are such an amazing writer/story teller. You are as entertaining and brilliant as Frank DeFord. Keep it up...there is always the chance you will start making money off of this blog soon!

    And enjoy!

    Sounds like a great time already. However, you left out some details. Did they run out of Caffreys over there? I haven't heard about any of those adventures yet. Keep the stories coming. I'm excited to vicariously be a part of the Tour with your blog entries.
