How did they always open the old Wide World of Sports?  "The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat". Yeah, that was us this week. 
On the thrill side, the Olympics, the Olympics and, oh yeah, Mars Curiousity.  Monica has a complete rundown of her favorite Olympic moments and people.  We know those sprint relays are always amazing but who knew platform diving could be so emotional?  What are we going to do now that the Games are over?  Julie has a specific strategy to share with is.
On the agony side, our father took a real turn for the worse this week.  Alzheimer's is a terrible disease and we are learning the hard way that we can't predict what will happen next.
On an upnote, Julie recommends that EVERYONE watch USA Swimming's cover of Call Me Maybe if you are feeling a little post-Olympic letdown and read Lian's Olympic notes on her blog Chaos Chronicles to rbing all the fun back.
And Liz exhorts the whole Satellite Sisterhood to take up trampoline.  Let's all make the team for Brazil 2016!
