Greetings from Barcelona. Beautiful parks & gardens, pedestrians largely away from cars, little honking, much good naturedness on the streets….the Mediterranean fresh breeze in delicious play. A sexy vibe, as in evoking The Talented Mr Ripley. My buddy Candace and I covering all the hoods, along with muchas tapas!! #nyad #barcelona

Traveling Music Friday! #musicfriday #nyad
Did you watch the Opening Ceremonies yesterday? I’ve covered several Olympic Games as a journalist and I found the elegance of the Paris Ceremonies more moving, more emotional than all the rest. Celine Dion brought the poignant echo of Edith Piaf to life in front of 300,000 spectators. From Coco Gauff and LeBron James carrying the American Team Flag to Snoop Dog adding his Olympics fervor, it was a sterling start to these two weeks of the best athletes in the world on glorious display. Oh, wouldn’t it be heartening to revive the ancient Greeks’ custom of all wars on the planet ceasing for the duration of the Games. #olympics #paris2024 #nyad

Before today’s Sports Monday mention, let me stand in ovation for President Biden’s remarkably heroic stepping aside from running for election in November. There is sometimes a fine line between refusing to quit and the grace of letting go. Joe Biden chose grace and he will be lauded hugely from far and wide for his courage in doing so. With his selfless endorsement of Kamala Harris, President Biden just injected hope into the future of his, our country. As for Sports Monday, with open water swimmers concerned about the dirty Seine river for their event at the Paris Olympics, it was both fantastic and hilarious to see Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo taking a dip in the river, declaring the Seine a fine place for a swim! (p.s. After swimming around Manhattan in 1975, I had an eye infection for six weeks….just saying.) #sportsmonday #nyad #biden #kamalaharris #parisolympics2024 #seine

The array of sports at the Games is like eye candy. From archery to fencing to water polo to basketball to swimming. I thiink my two favorites so far have been Rugby Sevens (outrageous non-stop action with a total game time of only 14 minutes!) and beach volleyball. That court set in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower is dazzling, especially at night. And the athleticism of the women yesterday was so very impressive. What sports are you enjoying? #paris2024 #olympics #nyad

First Day of Summer! Let’s TWIST! #nyad #musicfriday #chubbychecker #thetwist
Love hearing so many of you are into Rugby Sevens. Did you see the profile piece on badass American player Ilona Maher? OMG. I’m her new biggest fan! A poster-woman for strength and pride as a big, strong, bold woman. I find the total medal reports, rah rah for American medals, beside the point. What’s more moving to me is when French athletes soar in front of the home crowd. Leon Marchand so smooth in breaking. Michael Phelps’ last standing world record in the 400 IM….gave me chills to hear the French crowd roaring in timing with his breaths in the breaststroke. But equally crushing to see the French women’s gymnastics team fail to qualify for the 8 top spots. I love that the Olympians’ bodies make it evident as to what they’ve all been doing over the last decade. The swimmers, gymnasts, track athletes’s bodies are as inspired as Greek statues. The horses’ bodies were just born that way…lol…they look like elegant dancers. Murray and Evans showed such resilience in that come-from-behind tennis dubs victory. Bravo. Were you a little worried to see Simone Biles’ calf taped up? A tweak from a couple of weeks ago seems to have been aggravated. Let’s hope she’s okay. #paris2024 #olympics #nyad
