CenTex GuyCatching up

Sorry it's been a while since I've posted here. Texas football is about to start up, and part of my real job involves Texas high school football. And also there were two athletes from where I live competing in the Olympics. Whcih is pretty impressive since I live in a town of only about 20,000.
Neither did well. One wasn't expecting to, as he was a swimmer who's speciality is the 200M butterfly (also the speciality of Michael Phelps). But he earned his way to the Olympics in the 50M free, didn't get to the semis.
The other is a track athlete who by his own admission, choked.
The other thing I've been following is the presidential race. I am likely not going to vote, but Obama came close to earning my vote when the day before he selected Joe Biden to be his VP, we learned Chet Edwards was still in the running. I know Chet, and he's been my representative before. I'd vote for him in a second, even though theres' several issues I don't agree with him on.
Anyway, things have slowed a little bit, so hopefully I can catch up on some fun Texas topics.
