Kerri Walsh and Misty May facts
« on: August 14, 2008, 08:31:28 PM »
Fact one- they made me a fan (whatever that sport is they are playing there)

Fact two- they enjoy their work as I enjoy watching them work

Fact three- I would like to see even more "teamwork"



Oh, and they are on TV right now.  :-)

USA!! USA!! USA!!  :cheersmate:


On edit: Fact four- google is your friend.

Fact six- I almost spit beer as the announcer refered to May/Walsh defending their "intergalactic title".  :rotf:

105 wins in a row as of tonights (non-medal) match.

You go girls. My idea of "golden girls" btw!  :-)

They made it though the quarters.  Gotta hand it to Matt Treanor of the Florida Marlins for landing Misty May. :cheersmate:

If your Olympic interest is on a downslope, this might help...

May and Walsh are about to start their next match as I type.

Fact: I miss living in Hermosa Beach.

Yes, it's her.

And FWIW, when I lived there I met Gabby Reese.



And just in case anyone wonders how cool it is to pay $400 for a parking spot per month and $2K for a 1-BR apartment (thank God it was only $900 for both when I lived there)...

5 minute walk from my old apartment...

And oh yeah--great breakfast.

Wow!!!

They did it. Gold for the USA and the best team at their sport in the world.

Also, Walsh sends out props to the POTUS (unless I imagined that) which should tweek all the right people.  :-)


Great job "Golden Girls"!

"Six Feet of Sunshine" shines through again!

I'm hoping that Misty's husband absolutely wrecks the Phillthies, but can't hit a thing against the Mets.
