Al and Joe, Henry and Ro

HI, I'm Allison!

Charlottean, NC State Alum, transplant Atlantan

Married, gainfully employed and trying to fake it 'til I make it in basically all categories

Topics covered: life in the peach state, the adventures of Henry and Ronin, pretty dresses, etc.

The etcetera portion will likely include instances of me making a fool of myself and food I like.

Welcome.

Favorite events of the olympics in one night.

Some notes:

  • we had a horrible storm during the gymnastics competition and our DirecTV was having a fit and I was feeling homicidal.
  • I got misty-eyed at 30 second intervals all night and had to hide it from Joe who would make fun of me until the end of time.
  • I think Bob Costas needs a new tailor.
  • The men’s relay swim team is a machine. Ricky Berens is a dime and I now wish I’d had the foresight to proposition him on the elementary school bus and/or high school.
  • The post-competition interview with the Fab 5 really put their talent into perspective. They all cited their first Olympic memory to be the TWO THOUSAND AND FOUR games.
  • I actually took the time to notice the Olympic torch I drive by on my commute every morning. It really is an amazing thing that the whole world comes together for this.
