UK-based readers might recognize the influence of Shakin’ Stevens in the title of this post.
I was never a fan but remember watching Top Of The Pops (now extinct) and complaining how I couldn’t get his catchy little ditty out of my head (it was the hormones, no doubt!).
Well, 20 plus years later the hormone flow […]
Just yesterday China’s top hope for an Olympic Gold Track medal, Xiang LIU, unfortunately had to withdraw from his 110 meters Hurdles race because of injury.
It’s always sad when an athlete is unable to perform because of something beyond their control.

Perfection In Such An Average Day
Well, my average day actually stretched through the weekend and included these 5 simple highlights:
1- Attending a School Choir and Band Concert
2- Going For a Run after 10 days off with a cold
3- Enjoying a couple of Beers at home
4- Late […]
