Phelps, luck and finally, the weekend

It’s Friday afternoon, and I was going to write a week-in-review piece, but as I was doing a little Internet trolling, and came across this image of mine from the Beijing Olympics, of Michael Phelps going nuts after winning yet another gold medal -

It was one of those great, lucky, arbitrary moments. I have no idea why Michael decided to look right in my direction (maybe his girlfriend was right behind me), but I was seated in the exact right spot where my view was unobstructed between two poles. The photographers crowded along the right and left of me couldn’t get this shot. Just plain dumb luck, but sometimes it happens and you gotta enjoy it when it does, cause next time you’ll be the one stuck trying to get a clean frame through a pole.

Anyway, it’s almost the weekend. And Mr. Phelps looks like how I’m feeling. Everyone, have a great weekend!!!
