The competition was great and I really enjoyed the Special Olympics, as I thought I would.
On the way home someone pointed out the "Sun Dogs". I had never heard of this phenomenon, let alone seen it. The photo is dark because I took it through the window of the truck but it was certainly easier to look at that way! It's neat that in a photo I just think that it's a refraction of the light on the glass or lens. Apparently it's really rare to have the arc overhead as well. I was also told that there can be up to 4 dogs on each side of the sun.
Today I also heard some sad news. Sherry Drover, after a great remission period, had her cancer return and died 2 weeks ago. Sherry was my very first coach and was a ray of sunshine in anyone's day. It's wasn't possible not to smile if Sherry said hello to you. My day was a little darker thinking that she was no longer in the world. Paulo Paiement will be wearing a black armband when he competes, in her memory.
