I enjoy #gymnastics at the Olympics because I enjoy watching people do things I literally can't do; I mean, I can run (not fast...), but I certainly can't fling myself from bar to bar.
So, I found myself watching the SEC Championship a few weeks ago. One thing which amused me

.was the #LSU women's team passed around a tiara after each of their athletes finished an event.
They all seemed so happy, but then they'd have to relinquish quickly the tiara to someone else.
I Google-d the team, and I found some of them have amusing social media profiles.

.Take, for example, @livvydunne. She's from New Jersey, but found herself down in Baton Rouge somehow (I still recall how "askance" people looked at me as a New Yorker when I worked in South Carolina one summer).
But I digress...
