August 31, 2017 Comments are Disabled

Growing up in College Park, Georgia I never thought about seeing things such as the Milky Way. It wasn’t until I lived overseas and started snowboarding that I actually saw the night sky without any light pollution.

It’s rare that I am upset or indifferent after an American wins a gold medal. This is exactly what I and 50,000 spectators felt when Justin Gatlin won the gold medal at the IAFF World Championships in London.
