Today, I shot men’s volleyball semifinals. USA vs Russia. If this were 1980, I could say something like “we kicked some commie ass today” or something like that. But it’s not, so I won’t say that.
I’ll just say that the crowd was mostly Russian. After the US won the first two games, Russia came back to win the next two and force the 5th game. Russian fans were pretty rude, booing every US serve. Or maybe it wasn’t a boo, maybe it was like at Yankee Stadium, when the fans yell “moooooooo” when Mussina pitches. Maybe it’s a Russian thing.
Or maybe they’re just rude, and we kicked their commie asses.

I need to get some sleep.
I have a tee time tomorrow.
The blogs were great, Chris! I looked forward to reading them each day. Have a safe trip home!
Tee time? How do you yell “Fore!” in chinese?
You must be going through withdrawal. Poor bastard
Good job with all the photos. Bet you can’t wait to get home.
Outstanding:
- Photos rock.
- Writing hysterical.
Travel safe coming home.
