Generic profound blog title goes here

Ok, so Liss and I are up for a "late night" tonight (it's still only about 10:30) while we're finishing up some laundry before we leave for Dallas tomorrow. We're going to the Echo Conference (http://www.echoconference.com) being hosted by Watermark Community Church, and it's probably the conference that I've been most excited about going to.

Of course, I'll be working the conference for SPEAK!, as I show of SiteWrench 4.0 (it's awesome) and some of our other services, but because Liss will be headed to Dallas with me, I'm really looking forward to just getting to hang out with the wife for a couple of days. I'm also hoping she makes lots of friends at the conference break-out sessions, so she can tell them how awesome her husband and SPEAK! are (I hope I'm awesomer than SPEAK!, but I don't know... and yes, I know awesomer isn't a word... yet).

Anyway - watching the Olympics while the laundry is drying, and I'm slightly concerned for NBC next week when Michael Phelps is finished with all of his swimming. I mean, I'm the first to admit that his story is by far the most compelling athletic story coming out of the 29th Olympiad, but I don't think NBC will be able to stretch the Phelps storyline throughout the duration of the Olympics. Maybe they'll just follow him around as he trades pins with other athletes. No doubt if pin trading were an Olympic sport, he'd take gold in that as well...

I'm watching the women's relay right now and just realized that the Olympic pool has LIFEGUARDS! Seriously?! Maybe it's just a cushy appointed job that I can get hooked up with through the IOC. You know the lifeguards are bored out of their minds...

I wish I had something profound to say about the absurdities of a world that has the most developed athletes than ever before in its history being coddled by lifeguards, but I'm struggling as I start thinking about going to bed...

Good night all! Headed to the big D tomorrow!
