Evan Woody vs. Micheal Phelps

My sister mentioned this first, but does my brother kind of look like Michael Phelps?











I really wish I had TV this week (I was really, really wishing it when my stroller had a flat tire this AM and I had to run on the treadmill). I love the Olympics. It may be my fascination with muscles (good thing I'm a physical therapist). It's the human body in peak performance. Not the pretty but useless gym muscles, but muscles that achieve truly amazing feats of speed and power. The summer Olympics are better than the winter, just because there's typically less equipment and clothing.

Watch the video on this page. It's amazing, and intense, and what being an American is all about.

Umm...yeah. He looks a lot like him. It is the face shape and the ears I think. Plus the smile.

That relay was the most amazing thing I have ever seen! Pretty darn cool - and a good lesson in saying nice things in case you have to eat your words.

I too LOVE the Olympics! I am eating it up every night. Hey if you are desperate to watch you can always come over. We TIVO it and go to town watching all the good stuff. You are always welcome.

I know this will be shocking but I watched their relay last night and they did it under 7 minutes (world record) and it was thrilling!! Pelphs is a machine. I agree with your mama...Evan is better looking.
