NYC Olympics?

One of my favorite things to do while traveling is people-watching. Every fellow traveler has unique characteristics, mannerisms, and stories, things that I catch only a glimpse of in passing. Someone could be returning from a tour of duty, or reporting back for another one. Someone could be a successful businessman, or desperately trying to look for a new job after the recent collapse of several finance companies.

Something I thought of while waiting at NYC Penn tonight: if NYC doesn't win the 2012 Olympics bid, wouldn't it be hilarious to have a "City Olympics" with events that would be...unique to NYC? I'm thinking of something like the 100-meter dash...in heels. Or 3-piece business suits. Or flip-flops. Just watching people in the train station, it's amazing how fast people can run in any of those!
