Rio Olympics ended last night. Hopefully we can get back to regular sleep habits.
Team USA was phenomenal. So many great stories. And a few not so great.
Michael Phelps in the pool.
Usain Bolt on the track.
Epic.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
We could still be riding horses. Glacier National Park’s Lake McDonald Lodge.
Appetite for better.
This is something i have learned to harness and thrive on from a lifetime at Disney.
The drive to be the best in the world.
The life of learning to live with never being satisfied, because you’re always wondering, “What if we tried this?”
It’s commercially evident watching the 2016 Rio Olympics which began three days ago.

Stumbled across this on our TV screen while listening to a music channel. Dick decided to do something.
By the time this goes live, the 2016 Rio Olympics will be history. Will Vashti Cunningham, now 18 and a recent High School graduate, be the new Olympic Women’s High Jump Champion?
She’ll be using the Fosbury Flop, as will every other high jumper, men’s and women’s.
The Fosbury Flop revolutionized the high jump.
As a high schooler in Medford, Oregon, Dick Fosbury revolutionized the high jump when he developed a new technique that quickly became known as “the Fosbury Flop,” which involved going over the bar headfirst and backward, with one’s body horizontal to the ground. The technique worked so well that Fosbury improved by one foot in high school — from 1.61m/5-3.75 to 1.92m/6-3.75.
At Oregon State University, Fosbury first cleared 7′ during the 1968 indoor season and became a surprise winner at the Mexico City Olympics in 1968 by clearing 2.24m/7-4.25 for then-Olympic and American records. He was elected to the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame in 1992 and has also been inducted into the Oregon Hall of Fame, the National Track & Field Hall of Fame, and the World Humanitarian Hall of Fame.
All this happened because someone thought “what if”.

Might try the shot put and discus this year.
