  • backstory--I read that gold medal swimmer Missy Franklin's parents have paid over $100,000 to support their daughter's swimming for this past year.
  • Me: Can you believe that?
  • Mr. Ables: It doesn't really sound like that much money to me...
  • Me: It doesn't? That's just for this year!
  • Mr. Ables: but that pays for travel and lawyers, and I'm sure those fancy bathing suits aren't cheap.
  • Me: I guess I'm thinking of how we'd do it.
  • Mr. Ables: You mean like what if Silas wants to be an Olympic athelete?
  • Me: yeah...what would we do?
  • Mr. Ables: Do a Kickstarter, I guess.
