Way back in the dawn of time, 2009, now (checks sundial) 15 years ago, I posted about remembering 1984, about the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.  At the time I posted it was 25 years ago, so now (gasp) it's been 40 years.

All of those observations are still valid, more poignant for being so much older now; rowing on Lake Casitas, Peter Ueberroth, Ronald Reagan.  Time Magazine.  The first televised Olympics!  The Torch OJ Simpson, Rafer Johnson.  And LBNL the first Olympics (and still the only one) to be run as a business, at a profit for the host city.

(Just typing LA84 gives me chills how weird is that?  I was 25 at the time, must have made quite an impression on me :)

 And so with memories of Paris fading, we're getting ready to do it all again in 2028.  Hope we can show everyone how it should be done, again.  Should be amazing!...
