I was watching Olympic highlights the other night, and learned to my surprise that badminton is now an Olympic sport. How did I miss that? How long has that been on the roster?

It got me thinking. Perhaps someday there might be something admitted to the Olympic arena that I could actually be good at. And it has occurred to me at last what that might be.

Floating.

I really believe I could float at an Olympic level. Judging would be based on how still you could hold and how much of your body was actually on top of the water. Perhaps there could be extra "degree of difficulty" points for lifting both feet out of the water at the same time while lying on one's back. I'm very good at all these things.

Regrettably, I think capacity to float is directly related to body fat content, which doesn't work so much in my favor in the real world. But hey, if it were an Olympic sport, training for it would be a dream come true!
