OH MY !! As we were watching the Men's sand volleyball olympics the other night with Rogers and the D player (can't remember name) , I said "Wow.. I used to know a guy named TODD Rogers at UCSB... and he was an awesome volleyball player for the Gauchos. We actually studied together after I got to know him in all places.. a volleyball class.. where he was a helper to our teacher (the head coach for UCSB). He was a total hotie in college and truth be told I had a huge crush on him (This was well before the Ryan Birchler days.. After I met Ryan every other handsome man to me is way below Ryan's standard... ) I thought I was cool stuff going to the games and he was my friend.
Anyway.. the announcer proceeds to say "Todd". I about craped my pants.. and I went on-line to the wonderful world of all knowledge and it is indeed the very very sweet Todd the one and the same who also went with me to the Goleta Boys and Girls Club where I worked after I talked him into coming to read to the kids.. I started a "REading with a Gaucho" program for the young'ens to get excited about reading... He was so great with them and he had a ball reading! He did it out of the goodness of his heart.. No reward.. just did it because he thought it would be neat.
He was a total genuine sweet true person with a heart of gold. I am sooo happy for him. He was not a best friend by any means, so I have no idea how to get a hold of him today..
But.. Send Positive winning energy to this wonderful hearted Gaucho and former classmate of your sissy-in-law!
I just had to put this out before they go for the gold.. I should be getting ready for one of the biggest days of my life tomorrow!
love to you all!!

Very cool that a fellow UCSB alum is representing the U.S. in the Games. One observation: I watched a commentary about the women's beach volleyball players and how they insisted their uniform was a function of not restricting their play. How is it that Todd's board shorts, covering about 40% of his body doesn't impede his play? The girls seem to think anything more than a few square inches of lycra puts them at an unfair advantage!
Go U.S.A.!
P.S. New BMX pics up tonight at www.carrieb.typepad.com
