1984

I recall very well when the Olympics were in Los Angeles in 1984, collecting the pins of the eagle mascot, watching the bike race that wound through my home town. And I remember how everytime the US did not win a gold in an event we were favored in, everyone was disappointed, looking for someone to blame. Just now the Icelandic handball team won in the semi-finals, meaning they get to play in the gold metal game. Everyone was crying. Even the ladies in the bank.
