8-8-08.

I call it the day of infinite possibilities. There is something powerful built into these numbers. It is a day that can be the start of many new things in life.

In my life, I have had a couple of new opportunities show up today. I am really excited to see where my life goes in the next few months.

In history, it was 20 years ago today that the Cubs played their first night game. 8-8-88. It was rained out, so the first official one was the next day. I still remember how the tarp was used as a slip and slide.

Currently, the Olympic games are just getting underway. The opening ceremonies were so beautiful. It was perhaps the most beautiful performance that I have ever seen. Their use of video, fireworks, technical visuals, was only rivaled by the sheer numbers of people that performed. It was a sight to see. China has really outdone themselves with this one. I wasn’t really looking forward to this years Olympics, but as I flipping through channels, I was drawn to the images and am a little excited by it. Best opening ceremonies by far. The torch lighting just happened and it was beautiful. I can’t imagine all the work that went into this.
