First we take Beijing. . . .

Flying to Beijing tomorrow for the insane circus-circus of the Olympics. I’ll have about a week to roam around, check the venues, work on some features, buy some groceries, and generally get my bearings and then BANG! the opening ceremony on the 8th, followed by a few weeks poolside in the cube shooting swimming, diving, waterpolo and synchro while hopefully managing to sneak a few granola bars, coffees and showers in between heats. . . .
