I was going to blog today about my non jogging experience today but I came across an article about Michael Phelps and everyone looking the other way regarding his indiscretions. Well being a parent and a consumer, I am not looking the other way nor forgiving him. That is a bunch of nonsense and the people who are paying and supporting him should all speak up.  Not only does he look ridiculous as a drunk and drug addict but also as an Olympic gold medalist makes our country look like this type of behavior is acceptable. It is not acceptable yet we, as Americans, put up with it every single day from our athletes, politicians and actors. Our children look up to these people.  I can only hope and pray my children look up to someone who is worthy to be set as an example. Or at least someone not drinking and driving nor doing drugs.  I had read a quote, I don’t remember where, but it said “It takes a community to raise a child, I have seen the community and I don’t like it”.   Ok I am getting off my soap box.
