Really Grant? I can't tell if this is bitterness, plain assinine or a touch of both...
Edit: E you can see the full bouts if you either a) watch it live or b) buy the DVD basically. So you know, pick your poison. Late nights, cash expenditure, or not seeing it. I now dangle to the left....my tassle. Get your minds out of the gutter.

Sure, it's fun for the first few days, then you begin to understand that in Korea, kim-chee comes in two flavors: "napalm", and "red stuff used to jump-start fusion reactors."
The stuff is in everything...rice dishes, noodle dishes, puff pastry items, bottled water...
And another thing: when a Korea dish says "mixed seafood", it ain't a mix of shrimp and scallops, my friend. It's stuff you can't believe you're eating. If it looks like the south end of a northbound squid, well.... "Sometimes we, as coaches, get into that dictator mode where you just tell and you don't listen and you don't try to understand them."

Dear Capt,
You're making us all glad we're not really good US juniors. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. And from this side only! The flight of a half-man, half-bird.

Hahahaha.

I will say that the pickled turnip slices were one of our most favorite dishes there. It's just that the rest of them had my tongue raw by the end of the week--and I love Tabasco sauce.

Go figure. Tabasco is to Korean food, what Jeff Bukantz is to sports journalism.

White people just can't take the heat. None of my family is Korean. I had rarely eaten Korean food before I went on this trip with my son, but I enjoyed every meal. The only reason I didn't eat kimchee three times a day is that I ate so much for breakfast that I didn't need another meal. No, I take that back. The other reason I didn't eat kimchee all the time is because I discovered something with a name like bimbibap, which I also really liked. Yes, I did end up eating way more octopus than I meant to (I kept finding out after I ate it what it was) but the point is I liked it. More Americans need to try more different foods.

This is pretty random and general but I just want to congratulate everyone who went to the Championships, everyone who medaled or one, and especially Graham, since he is my teammate.

Sound fair enough? Coherence and humility are not the same thing. The other team-members seemed to handle it OK.

Sarah - I enjoy reading your posts--once I squint and get up close to the monitor. Would you PLEEEEEASE use black type instead of blue? My eyes are old & even with glasses I have a hard time reading DeepSkyBlue type. Thanks!
