Unsportsmanlike behavior at the Olympics

Posted by Randy  Published in Computers and Internet, Entertainment, General life, News, Sports

I was surprised to read about the Cuban athlete who attacked a referee during an Olympic match, and now he (and his coach) have been banned from competition for life.  What a fiasco that must have been!  The athlete, Angel Matos apparently had been injured during the Taekwondo match and he was declared the loser because he exceeded the one minute time out limit.  He was so upset that he kicked the referee in the face!  No wonder he has been banned for life!

Went for a really nice long ride on my Harley

Posted by Randy  Published in Automotive, Entertainment, General life, Sports, Travel

I went exploring today on my Harley, I put over 300 miles on it!  I drove down to Richmond and back.  I really can’t recall ever going to Richmond before.  I drove right past the racetrack, which got me really excited!  Now I know where the racetrack is, I’m sure I’ll be going there again to watch some races!

I got caught in a rainstorm, which convinced me that my wife was right, I really SHOULD buy some rain gear and I really SHOULD buy a windshield.  It would have made riding in the rain a lot more comfortable!

China and the Olympics

Posted by Randy  Published in General life, Politics, Sports

My wife and I were discussing what a mistake we think it was for the Olympics Committee to pick China as the location for the 2008 Olympics.  We just KNEW there would be trouble.  The Committee was pretty naive to believe China’s promise to improve their human rights problems.  And, apparently, there HAS been a lot of trouble with protestors trying to interfere with the running of the Olympic torch.  And I’ve heard that a lot of countries are considering boycotting the games.  I think that is really a shame, I don’t think that politics should be so deeply imbedded in the Olympics games.  I hope that the countries don’t boycott the Olympics, that would be punishing the athletes who have trained so hard to compete, and I don’t think that is fair at all.

Went snowmobiling this past weekend

Posted by Randy  Published in Entertainment, Friends and Family, General life, Sports

A few friends and I went snowmobiling for a few hours last Sunday.  We went up and down some camp roads, and along a trail that goes across the pond.  Afterwards we all came to my place for a few drinks and a couple of nice steaks, popped some popcorn and watched a Harry Potter DVD.  I know it sounds crazy, but we all like the Harry Potter movies!   So all in all, we had a nice time.
