My brother is the coolest brother ever. He sent me a little package this week and asked me if I want to volunteer with him at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. It is a year and a half away, but of course I'm going to fill out the application. I want to go to Greece! Of course, there is no one better to explore an exciting new country with than Chris. And the official mascots of the games are a brother and sister, Phevos and Athena.
"Phevos and Athena are two children, simple and joyful, full of vitality and creativity, perhaps mischievous and hence lovable. Phevos and Athena see sports like a game, as all children do. ... Through their laughter, their lively presence, their freedom of movement and their will to cooperate and stay united, Phevos and Athena will be with us from now on to express with enthusiasm and optimism our will to be united and to share the joy of the greatest celebration of humanity: the Olympic Games. Together, they are ready to show us the way towards the 2004 Olympic Games."
See, it's perfect. Chris and I must go be brother and sister goodwill ambassadors at the Olympics, just like Phevos and Athena. And after all our hard work, we'll just have to go party it up ouzo-style on a Greek island for a few days afterwards.
Besides, I must go to the 2004 Olympics as part of my preparation to be on the USA Bobsled team at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy.
Now go fill out the application so you can come, too!
