I am thrilled that we won silver; our whole Olympic Team is doing great. I actually hate it when people act as if it is a loss. We gained a silver on the score board. That's it. Gold is always nice but silver is not a failure; I do dislike the way people see the Olympics as a win or loss - it is an achievement just to be there. Congratulations to all.
I have always loved the Olympics until it became another TV show like a soap opera. Its a game some are won some are lost but it is being played by humans and these things just happen. Cheers for all the members of the team; you are doing great. Wanting to get a medal is great; wondrous and good for the mental health. Getting a medal is more a feature of how life flows sometimes. I thought it was interesting when a comment was made about one member of the Canadian team whose parents had both been in the Olympics. It is just such a wonderful accomplishment to put all that time in your life into being at one Olympic game or two maybe or more - the parents are certainly the drivers in that for sure because they get them to the practice and they are there cheering them constantly at every event and the players learn rules of life.
Myself I have just always loved running but I did not want to be part of stop watches or controlling how I ran or any of that. I just love to run and it is unlikely that I am of that type of runner anyway. So these are special people prepared to put up with coaches who just want you to win for sure and sometimes not achieving what you really wanted.
I did complete all the matches and moved on to looking at the newest matches in the databases. There are not a lot as I have become much pickier. My interest is not fading in DNA just do not want to continue a lifestyle where I am constantly collecting data that is borderline or difficult to prove or appears to be somewhat strange. Other than that I will continue to look but my cause moves forward and I will be back to writing shortly. I have already developed in my mind the next chapter of the Pincombe book and then the genealogical chart will begin and indeed I already have a beginning of that in my Legacy file. This book will be published as written because all of the data that I need I have; just have to transcribe some of it out of Latin. A slow process but actually a quite enjoyable one surprisingly. I do so like a challenge and latin is certainly a challenge especially because it was written in some cases 800 plus years ago. It will be published under a Creative Common License as the Siderfin books were and free on my website.
Another work day and shall see how much I accomplish. My new file is set up to work with the great grandparent data and that will begin shortly. We will see what AI can do for my file. I am starting to create the scenarios that I want to look at.
Drinking my tea and time to move on to the solitaire puzzles.
