Today -- at 8 p.m. on the eighth day of the eighth month of the eighth year of the millenium-- marked the start of the Opening Ceremonies of the Games of the XXIX Olympiad in Beijing. At precisely the same time (8 a.m. Eastern), 13 students and two faculty members from Western New England College in Springfield, Massachusetts, held their own opening ceremony at Bradley International Airport (Hartford/Springfield) before boarding the airplane bound for Beijing via Chicago. There is plenty of excitement and anticipation of more to come among our crew. We are now enroute and I will post again after we get there . . . tomorrow (Saturday) evening!
