Jim McKay dead!


In the wake of the recent dead celebrities and my lack of interest in posting about them, I have decided to put out this brief post.

Why?

Because as a former jock(ette), memories of my childhood and the 70's include an awful lot of time spent in front of the TV on Saturday afternoons watching ABC's Wide World of Sports. I am often consoled in my defeats, and humbled in my victories by the tagline, "The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat." Watching the guy tumble through the air was enough perspective on the whole competition thing.

Anyway, just thought I'd share.
