Sadly, Pita Taufatofua did not qualify

 On vacation!

 Your blogger is away for a few more days.

Meanwhile, I'm anticipating Friday's 2024 Olympics.

I'll be watching the opening ceremonies

live on an IMAX screen.

Johnny Hooper

Team USA Water Polo

Seems their price gouging attempts have backfired.
