Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that the summer Olympic games started this weekend in Beijing.  I hope everyone caught the opening ceremonies because they were amazing.  I admit Gummer Marnee wasn’t very happy that we made her hold that satellite dish all night, but it’s not like we can get cable here on the ship.

Anyway, what better time than now to honor our Olympic athletes?  And what better athlete to honor out here surrounded by all this water than the US Olympic swim team?  I think I speak for everyone when I say, let the games begin.

Everyone knows I’m not typically interested in lanky, but I’ve been making a lot of exceptions lately.  And Mr. Phelps here presents plenty of reasons to make an exception.

Big happenings on the ship this week. BIG BIG TADOINGS!  This Tuesday, August 12, the RWR is excited to welcome New York Times Bestselling author, Teresa Medeiros!  Teresa’s latest release, Some Like It Wicked, hit store shelves at the end of July and we’re so excited to have her with us to talk all about it.  And since she was silly….errr…..brave enough to agree to an interview with Captain Jack, there’s no telling what else we’ll be talking about.  So mark your calendar now and join us Tuesday for all the fun.

Now, everyone watching the Olympics?  Did you see the opening ceremonies?  Wasn’t that amazing?!  Oh, and anyone interested in swimming lessons should sign up now.  But don’t be throwing elbows to cut in line!
