Day TWELVE

One thing I definitely won’t miss about the Olympics is the feature stories about how old athletes are who are much younger than me.

One thing I definitely will miss is Tom Daley and his knitting.

He started and completed this sweater in the time since he won the gold medal last week. Meanwhile I’ve been working on the same scarf since May.

One thing you should know is that the commentator for the women’s basketball game just said, “you can’t microwave a gold medal.” And sure, he meant like, work hard, nothing happens overnight, but it’s also just very good practical advice. Fortunately the melting point of gold is 1,948 degrees F which is about 9x hotter than your average microwave.

I know this is the kind of content you came for.
