I was so busy yesterday between climbing, birthday party for my nephew down in Albany Oregon and soccer practice for two different kidlets, blogging didn't even enter my mind! Glad that's over with.
Of course today, I have to finish getting ready for the trip we're leaving on in a few hours. We're going to a kids' rope up. That is a weekend of rock climbing for kids. Four families, none of whom we've met except over the Internet. We'll be camping, climbing, swimming and just having a fun time. I can't wait. My brother in law is visiting us from New York and we have our normal pet sitter who'll be around, too, so the fur babies should be fine and I won't have to worry about them at all. Just the way I like it.
Remember how I posted about the age of the Chinese gymnasts a few days ago? Check out this link. It's the blog of the guy, a US computer expert/hacker, who found the documents about their true ages. It makes for an interesting read, not just about the gymnast but how caching works on the Internet. He links to a Chinese blogger and though the text is unreadable to me, the pictures and the things he highlights are very understandable. I'm interested to hear what the IOC has to say. Supposedly a statement will be made today.
I'll be back on Sunday, but not sure what time. If it's not too late, I'll announce the winner then otherwise it'll be Monday morning. Have a great weekend!

I'm looking forward to seeing how it all comes out in the wash.
I hope you have a great time! I've been reading everything I can on the Chinese issue. I didn't see a link?
Again, have a wonderful time!
I've been reading and I'm am totally convinced they are under age. Ther's something about all the Jamacan track stars. Apprently their country doesn't check for drugs and they quit them right before the olympics so as not to get disqualified.
Hi Melissa, have a great weekend! I am going to check out your link, I do think they are under age.
have a great weekend.
I didn't see a link, either. Can you repost it????
Have a great weekend.
Takes the joy out of the games when folks feel the need to cheat to win. What exactly does that teach our kids?
I have a feeling the IOC won't do much of anything.
Happy weekend!
I am looking forward to seeing what happens with this. It peeves me to think people feel the need to cheat--about anything!
Hope you're having a great weekend! :)
Have a great week-end!
Sorry about the link. It is now fixed.
Hm - the link isn't working now [from Stryde Hax's blog] - but I think I saw what you're taking about a few days ago - during the Olympics. unfortunately I'm pretty sure the image was just a list of names and dates. I don't *think* it had any sort of label like birth days - and also, with computers... that would be really easy to fake as well. [It had some of the girl's names highlighted, etc. I do know the names were right.]
However, regardless of what docs were or were not hacked... I definitely don't think a number of the Chinese gymnasts were eligible to compete due to age.
