SAILING TAKES ME AWAY



Switzerland, a country with no coastline, won the America's Cup this past weekend.



To fully comprehend the momentousness of this unlikely accomplishment, imagine if, for example, the Jamaicans had actually won the Olympic bobsled competition. Or if the Americans had won the International Cricket World Cup. Or, to get really crazy, if, say, Yasir Arafat and Henry Kissinger each won, for instance, a Nobel Peace Prize!!!



Oh. I guess it wasn't such a big deal after all.
