About this blog

My friend Mary Welch convinced me to do this ... and set it up for me.... giving me the name OrangeCrush in the process.

As you know (since you are here) I am going to the Beijing Olympics as part of the group traveling with the US Men's Basketball team. My friend Jim Boeheim (Syracuse coach) is a coach on the team, and his sister Barb and I are joining Jim's wife and chidren on the trip.

Mary had originally put a very professioanal picture of me here, but since she named me OrangeCrush, I decided I needed a real "orange crush" in the picture -- so there I am with Super Bowl hero David Tyree (a former star football player at Syracuse).

I leave for Beijing (via Paris on Air France) on Monday night (actually 1 a.m. Tuesday
