It all ends so undramatically sometime. Usually I’m the one that leaves, today the whole gang left Fiona and I in the HKG airport to head to Beijing for the closing ceremonies, hugs, well wishes, an excessive amount of baggage all flew round along with one monkeyed up ticket that they finally got sorted...

So I made it home. Mind you, I’ve been up since 4 am, having finally gotten to my house at 10.30 last night. I had to con a friend into coming to pick me up as I lost my debit card in an ATM machine in Hong Kong and was short on cash for a cab when I got home. The flight was a long one, Hong Kong to...

After three weeks in one of the world’s most vibrant cities, I’ve come to a few conclusions during my stay in amazing Hong Kong. I’ll get to those in a moment. Typhoon Nuri is now a thing of the past, however, it left more than 18,000 passengers stranded at the airport as of noon Saturday. Many of them...

And then there were none. There were no more medals to be handed out. Beezie stole the final bronze medal from Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum with an unbelievable performance on my friend Bud. She copied McLain’s shortcut and was just absolutely lightning fast. Beezie is stone cold. I’ve never seen someone...

The equestrian portion of the Olympic Games are now over - well, maybe. Seems there is the topic of doping control, which will takes days to complete and all the finals results be known. But, for as much as the daily trips to Sha Tin and the equestrian venue, my work is done. A flight with horses supposed...

We had a ‘day off’ yesterday. There was no competing, the show jumpers jogged beautifully and we went to Victoria’s Peak for lunch with the Brits. They have a great staff and are a fun bunch, considering all the controversy surrounding the show jumping with John Whitaker’s horse not being able to jump...

The show jumping finale couldn’t have been more exciting. I know it is old news by now but it was history in the making. The US horses jumped phenomenally, but three of the four of them put a foot on the water. Cedric jumped clean like a pro, a true testament to his ability as he is so inexperienced...

Last night I had the most memorable taxi ride of my life. Show jumping was thrilling, and the U.S. team rose to the occasion and made the country super proud by charging across the tricky and technical courses to seal the deal on bringing home a Gold medal. It was brilliant. I was on a high, and after...

Today, I was treated to a wonderful treat - dim sum. Dim sum is a Chinese way of eating. You can select from many different types of small bites and dishes and mix-and-match exactly what you want to eat. It’s a lot of fun, and if you live near a Chinese restaurant that serves dim sum, and you haven’t...
