I am so happy and proud that U2 is playing at the opening ceremonies. My younger brother is a Special Olympics athlete (tho not in the world games...he's a state games medalist tho!), and I know how important a role the SO can play in the life of a special needs person. That U2 is involved with the world games just warms my heart. It means a lot.

If you ever get a chance to volunteer at a Special Olympics event, by all means, do so! It is incredibly inspiring, and the athletes are amazing people. :)

I volunteered once a couple of years ago...and it really was a lot of fun. I was going to do it this year, but I found out about it too late (same with the MS and AIDS walks...grr). I either have a really bad memory, or I just never realize what month we're in. %-p
