I felt like posting something a little different today. So I decided to post a photo I took this weekend of our cat, Fiona. I think it turned out pretty cool. I hope that you guys think the same. By the way, have a great week.

Yes, 9.72s!! I will always remember this guy’s name: Usain Bolt from Jamaica – just like a lightning bolt, 21 years old, the 5th time in a race and he broke the men’s 100m world record… I watched the whole race live at the Icahn Stadium in the Reebok Randall’s Island Grand Prix meet. It was breathtaking… in fact, he got Tyson Gay (9.85s) chasing the whole way, read here.
I and several friends of mine were watching the whole tournament especially to see the world champion and Olympic gold medalist Liu Xiang to compete in the Men’s 110m hurdle. But it turned out that Xiang mildly hurt his hamstring during practice and therefore couldn’t race just to be conservative for the coming Olympics … he came and said sorry to all the fans though :) It was late at night. Just when we were about to leave, someone said oh let’s see the last race - the Men’s 100m. And of course we stayed and were expecting Tyson Gay to put up yet another amazing performance. But now you know what happened… I am glad that I wasn’t trying to shoot photos in the race otherwise I would miss seeing the most amazing 100m race in my life. I was standing in the middle of the home stretch on the audience stand. There were 2 false starts before they finally got a clean one… when the runners passed my location, Usain Bolt was 1.5 yard ahead of Tyson Gay and both seemed to be in the same pace but we then saw Mr. Bolt hit the finish line first. I was just about to talk, one of my friends yelled at us – look at this, 9.71. He broke the world record!!! (they later adjusted it to 9.72 adding the wind speed) Oh yes, I knew that Tyson would not run slow but it was this guy who ran really fast… just amazing! Then he walked the whole lap and came around to the home stretch again... that's when I took this photo. There were thousands of Jamaican fans chanting and he waved to them, may not be realizing how excited everybody was…
Oh btw, it was a nice Saturday evening, loved it! I watched the amazing performances by Veronica Campbell-Brown (my all-time favorite :)) (10.91s) in the Women’s 100m, Wallace Spearmon’s 20.07s in 200m and Xavier Carter’s 44.70s in the Men’s 400m. Really nice races! And, Sanya Richards was signing autographs and taking photos with fans at the end :)
A blast from the past. Peter Hickman scoring 9.8 for artistic impression at Silverstone BSB round back in 2011. just to prove what a tough cookie Pete is he remounted and after giving the bike a once over in the pits he carried on in the race.
... still an outside TNR at this point. She loved me already and was terrified of our summer afternoon thunderstorms so in she came. #9 ... 2012
Explored FP #5
For today's 9/11 issue, our Life Editor wrote a story. It ran lead story centerpiece this morning.
I remember i was in Chemistry when our principal came on over the PA system to tell us what happened. Then we watched the news broadcast on TV all next period during french class, and that's when we watched the 2nd plane hit.
Everyone in my parent's generation talks about how they knew exactly when and where they were when they heard JFK was shot. I think this is the equivalent for our generation.

This reminded me of the movie 9 where the characters were made from various pieces of scrap.
I was in the city of Ciego de avila in Cuba, where materials for art are basically non existent.
I walked into an art shop where the products were made from old spoons and forks.
I walked into the back where the workshops was based and there at the very back was a table of old scrap forks and spoons and growing out of the middle was this fantastic piece of art not yet finished but surrounded by all the potential materials that might be added.
