DEAR COUCH GYMNAST...

I received this touching question today on my Formspring; Why don't you write your blog entries on a word processor, or in Firefox using an English dictionary for spelling? You could really do with some proofreading. No offence, but on top of typos, sometimes you don't even get the gymnasts' name right. Touching. Let me remind you, this blog is a voluntary activity. I am not employed by you

So, I just watched the video of the beam medal podium for Classics. I squealed just like one of those tween-agers in the crowd (which is kind of embarrassing at the ripe old age of thirty-two) when Alicia Sacramone was called up.
