Final Week of Preparation


It's been a crazy week here in Beijing. Last Saturday, the entire Jet Set and CoSport staff met at the Temple of Heaven for a staff photo. (In this photo, you see only our Ticketing team.) One thousand of us lined up on the steps and the background was the bluest sky I've seen here in Beijing. We couldn't have bought a more perfect morning. Since then, we've been running our Will Call center, filling new website orders from cosport.com, and completing all sorts of other ticketing tasks in preparation for the games. We've been working many days from 6:30 am to 11pm or midnight, and the whole staff is exhausted, but very excited now that today is the Opening Ceremonies. I'll take a lot of pictures and try to catch you all up ASAP!

Three Things Your (Gay) Christian Kid Needs to Hear from You

 Dear Friend Raising Your Child(ren) in the Christian Faith: A friend sent me an article today written by James Clementi, the older brother of Tyler Clementi.

I’d just started to grow uncomfortable with the feelings I was having for boys, I was unpopular and lonely at school, and I faced rejection when I asked girls to “go out” with me (really, where would we go anyway, the mall? “MOM, can you take me to the mall?” Well, yes, I guess that’s what the cool kids did do. Seems silly now.) I remember starting to pen suicide notes in Study Hall. I imagined leaving them unsigned and causing a stir, or I’d imagine actually killing myself at home, and I’d imagine how bad the kid...

6 Simple Fashion Rules for Men Over 30

Since yesterday was Father's Day, I thought I'd share a few of my thoughts on men's fashion. How we dress ourselves in the morning says so much about us, but many men are saying "I don't care." Men's fashion changes so little (really, when was the last time someone introduced a new neckline for men?) that if we make smart, simple decisions when we buy, our wardrobes can last a long, long time. With basic colors, most of the items in our wardrobes can also go with almost anything else, making it easy to get dressed in the morning, even in the dark! BUY THE RIGHT SIZE. Try it on. It doesn't have to cling, but it certainly shouldn't hang. If your pants won't stay on without a belt, they're not the right size. If they're loose in the waist but tight in the thigh? Not the right fit or not the right brand. Keep looking. Different brands fit differently, and some retailers offer 10 different fits! There's one that will look great ...
