Ferdie to Bob

Dear Bob, here are some photos of my life here on the campus of Concordia Seminary. I love kids, working with the grounds crew, swimming, playing with my dog friends, and especially my own family people.

Doing what the Olympic committee should have done

American gymnast Ali Raisman took the gold medal in the floor exercise yesterday and chose as her music Hava Nagila. This music is traditionally played at Jewish weddings and other celebratory occasions and Ali, being Jewish, wanted it to be a response to the Olympic Committee's refusal to mark the 40th anniversary of the massacre of the Israeli Olympic team by Islamic terrorists. More than that, she wanted the music to be a tribute to those who died in Munich.

This floor exercise is fantastic and if you didn't get a chance to see it on tv, take a look. Ali was flawless throughout and the height she got on the routine is amazing.
