One in a Row

The Beijing Olympics are a few short weeks away and I think it is high time we got to know one of our Olympic athletes a little bit better.

The woman at the front (right side in the picture) is my cousin Jane Rumball. She is an Olympian. I can't tell you how much fun it is to say that. I can't tell you how much more fun it is knowing that I will get to watch her (on tv) go for Olympic gold in Beijing in August. She, and her 8 crewmates qualified last month in Poland. She is one of only a handful of New Brunwickers representing Canada at this Olympiad. We are all extremely proud of her.

At the same time it is a little tough to swallow. In my family I will never be the best student, the best musician, the best artist, the best actor, or the best interior decorator. I thought I might have had a chance to be considered the best athlete in this generation of the family but Jane gone done and blew that all to hell. I can't even begin to compete with an Olympian. To add salt to the wound she's aiming at becoming a better blogger than me as well....now its personal! I kid of course...I thought it was cool as hell when my aunt Margie sent me the link to Jane appearing on CTV News - Check it Out!

She's a better interview than me too. I can't wait for August to come; I'm having a party for Jane's races. I'll keep you posted.

Pace out.
