Rebecca has albuterol again!

It's been drizzling a lot lately, the sort of long, light showers that my Grandma calls "stay rain." I rode my bike out to the bookstore the other day and bought Tatum O'Neal's autobiograpy, A Paper Life, which I had been flipping through for a long time. The original retail price was $24.99 (or something like that), but I got it for about $2.50 because it was secondhand and on sale!

Sara and I stayed up late the other night watching the race-walking and ping-pong tournaments from Beijing (there are two Olympic events you don't hear about often). Watching the Olympics has really made me miss the other assistants, because I know we would've had such fun watching them together in France, with each of us cheering on our different countries. When I watched the Opening Ceremony and the Parade of Nations, I made sure that I cheered for each of their countries: China, Sara; South Korea, Heather; Germany, Marlene; Mexico, Mariana; Jamaica, Nakeisha; and France, the country we all met and lived for nine months.
