I'm sure he'll be calling soon for his roof cleaning service in his new home in beautiful Orlando, Florida.

I'm guessing it's a tile roof, rather than shingle.

j/k......stay tuned!

That was a great race tonight. Tonight's medley was supposed to be his most difficult challenge out of all of his events. That's a little frightening to say the least.

And he wins his SECOND Gold Medal in as many days!!!

Yeah, that was a close one! It wasn't looking good, but they pulled it out. It's even sweeter after hearing all the trash talk from France.

When I read that all I could picture was the guys in Monty Python's Holy Grail. "Now go away, before I taunt you again!"

Another gold medal last night and a chance for 2 more tonight!

Could bring his total to 5 since the games started 4 days ago....Unreal!

[Don Phelps]

2 more Gold Medals and 2 more World Records!!!

The Americans ran off and hid in the relay. They couldn't even get the rest of the field in the shot.

Swimming sensation Michael Phelps has an Olympic recipe for success - and it involves eating a staggering 12,000 calories a day.
"Eat, sleep and swim. That's all I can do," Phelps, who won two more gold medals today, told NBC when asked what he needs to win medals. "Get some calories into my system and try to recover the best I can."

By comparison, the average man of the same age needs to ingest about 2,000 calories a day.
Phelps, 23, will swim 17 times over nine days of competition at the Beijing Games - meaning that he will need all the calories he can shovel in his mouth in order to keep his energy levels high.
Phelps' diet - which involves ingesting 4,000 calories every time he sits down for a meal - resembles that of a reckless overeater rather than an Olympian.
Phelps lends a new spin to the phrase "Breakfast of Champions" by starting off his day by eating three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise.
He follows that up with two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelet, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar and three chocolate-chip pancakes.
At lunch, Phelps gobbles up a pound of enriched pasta and two large ham and cheese sandwiches slathered with mayo on white bread - capping off the meal by chugging about 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks.
For dinner, Phelps really loads up on the carbs - what he needs to give him plenty of energy for his five-hours-a-day, six-days-a-week regimen - with a pound of pasta and an entire pizza.
He washes all that down with another 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks.
Phelps remains on course to at least equal Mark Spitz's record of seven gold medals won at the 1972 Munich Games.
At these Summer Games, a typical day for Phelps starts with a 5 a.m. wake-up call. Most of his races have taken place between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET when in China - 12 hours ahead of East Coast time.
