I'm not sure how enthused I am about the Summer Olympics.
I know I should be but as I've aged (more like milk than wine), my enthusiasms are not what they once were. My passion for baseball, admittedly tied to the on-field fortunes (and misfortunes) of the NY Yankees has been more than diminished so far this season and the recently concluded European Championships have left me with a gnawing pain of no joy in the pit of my stomach.
And then, just like that, something comes along, something I'd never previously seriously considered much less considered as a sport, Artistic Swimming, and I'm shocked and awed.
Actually, it didn't come along just like that but, rather, just like this.
Wow. Just Wow.
