Well, we're not going to London. :-(
Hubba had good performances at the Trials this past weekend, but it was tough competition.
The full Paralympic Track and Field Team Roster is here and includes Hubba's training partner, Christina Schwab. Christina (then Ripp) was a member of the Gold Medal Women's Basketball Team at the Beijing Paralympics in 2008.
So when the Olympics are over, I hope you will spend some time on Paralympic.org to see what the Paralympians are doing... August 29 - September 9.
And, if you're so inclined send a note to NBC Sports and the US Olympic and Paralympic Committees. Ask them to give the Paralympic Team the coverage they deserve. These people have worked as hard and made the same sacrifices as the Olympians and have equally inspiring stories. :-)

In Pursuit of London
I dropped Hubba off at the airport today.
He's on his way to the USA Track and Field Trials for the London Paralympic Games.
If you happen to see or talk to me over the next several days, don't be too concerned if I seem to be pre-occupied.

Fiber Arts Friday: First Knit Socks have gone Walkabout
Hubba loved his hand-knit socks so much that he took them to Guadalajara while he was there for the Para Pan American Games.
It was quite warm during the day, but very cool in the mornings. The Athlete's Village did not have heat, so he was happy to have some woolies with him.
Then one day last week, he was showing them off and bragging on me. :-) He wanted me to knit a pair as a tip for the massage therapist. :-) Then sometime later he didn't have them anymore. :-( He was heartbroken. :-( He traced and re-traced his path, but didn't find them. :-(
He called me with the sad news and then asked if I could whip up a pair before he got home. lol.
Well, my answer to whipping up a pair of socks in a few days is Not Possible, but I was working on a secret that I'll tell you about next week. ;-)
I hope that someone picked up the socks, that they fit that person, and that he or she will have warm and toasty toes for a long time to come.
I do wonder where the socks have gone now that the games are over... Argentina? Canada? Brazil? or maybe they've decided they like it in Mexico??
It's Fiber Arts Friday, so please go see what everyone else has been up to.
