By Kelly West: 2008-08-19 20:39:23

While I got totally caught up in Phelps’ attempts to secure eight old medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, all my father’s been able to talk about is the volleyball. So needless to say, he’s more than excited about the women’s beach volleyball gold medal final. That’s set to take place tomorrow (Wednesday) night and you can catch it on NBC.
