My mom, Bren and Harold, should be touching down in Beijing at any point and time now. I had a great opportunity to meet Mark Dickens, one of the head honchos at United Parcel Service (UPS). UPS, footed the bill for all of my mom and Harold's expenses while traveling to and from Beijing, hotel accommodations and transportation to wherever it is they need to go.

I headed over to the hotel where they will be staying yesterday, I needed to drop off the tickets to my races so they will have them when they get here. I wanted to knock out all the logistic stuff we in advance.

They have very nice accommodations, I really would like to thank the good people from UPS for assisting the family in this endeavor.

(P.S. I'm sure Bren is going to hate that picture I put up)

Your mom is beautiful! And you can tell her I said so! I'm not sure how you find the time to update your blog. I imagine myself not being able to think about anything other than my race if I ever had the chance to go to the Olympics! God bless!
