Default Handball.... what IS that?

Hi Gordon,

Thanks for sharing that info.... I can't wait to hear more.... :)

> Give us an update on your Olympic
> experiences...

Okay.... Actually, I'm going to write it up in a nice story.... Here's a brief version.... :)

I went to the Olympics again today, and saw Handball....

"Handball, what's that?" I hear some of you say.

That's okay, I had no idea either.... :)

Handball, it turns out, is a kind of combination between basketball and soccer.... The players dribble and pass the ball like in basketball, but there are goals, and a goal-keeper, like in soccer. So it's sort of like soccer, but where you use your hands, and you're NOT allowed to use your feet!

It turned out to be quite an exciting game.... I saw two matches, the exciting one was Germany vs. Egypt. But....

What was MOST interesting was the crowd.... The antics some crowd-members got up to.... and what it all means....

I can't say much now, but I'll write more about it later.... Stay tuned.... :)
