Speechless..."Home, Home on the Beach!"

Left my voice in Beijing. Yes, indeed. It was gradually disappearing in Ned's on Nanluoguxiang (I'll have fun posting about Ned's in the future.) Then it was going more rapidly when good friends Shirley Lind and Nancy Ryder met me after a long long flight via Korea. My voice was totally gone as we drove south on PCH and stopped in Laguna for a pit stop. I stood on one of the patios of the beautiful new coastal home of the Sawdei Family, another OLYMPIC SPIRIT FAMILY, and after Mike Sawdei gave us a royal tour I simply paused and whispered to my sparkling ocean..."I'm HOME".

(You will hear more about the Sawdei Family, and more about Shirley as I weave stories of past Olympics into my blog)
