One additional thought, before bed:
After the games are done, I believe changes will need to be made. What changes, specifically? Well… I offer no specifics here, I need not, but suffice to say, some things that have remained undone will need to be accomplished. Challenges will need to be undertaken, and obstacles overcome. New roads will need to be traveled.
And- some wrongs must be righted. I speak rarely of proverbs and platitudes here, but one of my favorites is, appropriately enough for the times, one oft attributed to Sicily, and particularly to the Cosa Nostra: “If I die, I forgive you; if I live, we shall see”.
The future will be interesting.
Well, on THAT rather ominous note, lol, I’m off to bed. A new day awaits! A beautiful day! What fun I’m having. Seriously, this is like the greatest thing ever. Olympics FTW!!!!
