Michael Phelps: Superhuman. Epic. Phenomenal. The hope and dream of a Great Country in the grips of despair. Only rivaling those of Greek gods.

I wish I could have had you here in my living room with me, really. I get more wrapped up in these things than is to be expected. I know one of you out there knows how to let me meet him; I need to. If only to say a simple "thank you", even though it's oh so much more than that. Even if right now it's not perfectly clear. Because to this soul it rings through as bells at the grand cathedral. I always did know 23 was the place to be. And one more August bar wants to shove me in the depths of a shallow grave,but I can't be anything but in love with 080808.
