This morning I learned that a colleague's co-worker is Garrett Weber-Gale's dad.
Who is Garrett Weber-Gale? He's on the 4x100 meter relay that Michael Phelps anchored in August. You know, that one where Michael took a half-breath and totally beat out the other anchor leg swimmer? And it was amazing? And we all jumped up and yelled at the TV?
Yep, that's the one. Go here to vote for the Sullivan Awards: http://budurl.com/w9s5
So I am (this) close to the Olympics.
Also, my brother-in-law? He dated a girl who swam collegiately who dated Michael Phelps. I don't know if that's closer or farther than my example above. Maybe Michael dates a lot of girls. Or maybe my brother-in-law does. :D
