Olympic Spirit Always Brings Me Back
From the opening ceremony, I'm hooked. Countries I never heard of with three or four athletes parade around the track with their flags just like everyone else. How many medals the USA wins is not important to me as countries that win their first gold medal. Bermuda and the Philippines come to mind. What about the 17-year-old Alaskan girl that won gold in swimming and lives in a state with only one pool in it? Media hype, blood, and guts are not for me. I prefer the spirit of the Olympics and the stories that show our humanity and make us feel good about the world we live in anytime.

Lunch With New Friends
I recently published food photos from a lunch with my friend Don Huntington @ Lone Tree Thai in Antioch. It sparked Barbara Santos, Spotlight subscriber, and Oakley resident, to drop me a note about her favorite dish, Panang Curry. Don and I went back to the restaurant yesterday and invited Barbara and her husband Rich to join us. They are both very involved with SFWriters.org and interesting company. They have a Writer's Conference scheduled at the Hyatt Regency, San Francisco, in February 2022. I hope to see them again soon over another bowl of curry.
