by CarolineThis morning my colleague came over to my desk while I was systematically reading every New York Times story about Michael Phelps. (He is, as far as I can tell, swimming’s greatest hero in at least 35 years and probably ever for that matter.)
I told her what I was looking at and she said, “Did you hear about his goggles filling up? That means he literally broke a world record with his eyes closed.”
He is a miracle. I am also in awe that swimming is the big shit in this Olympics. It’s about time!
