Well the Olympics are going on.  My trainer is there - he is the coach/nutritionist for the US Wrestling Team.  Honestly I had no intention of watching it at all.  Though my sister Tivo'd it and I saw about 15 min of the opening ceremony.  Yes, it was brilliant, but you know what it had to be.  Their lives probably literally depended on it - not to make light of the situation and the brilliance but this is the nation that had the one child policy for a very long time.  You gave birth to more than one child and that child would have to die.  That aside....yes the opening ceremony from what I saw was brilliant. 
It's amazing, I remember the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles - I lived about an hour from the festivities and I was about 12 years old.  That was an amazing feeling.  I was in like 6th grade and the elementary school I attended had its own little olympic games LOL...

I remember being at home and watching the Barcelona games back in 1992.  I think that was the one time I was actively following the Olympics and the winners and such...I guess it was the one time I felt civic pride and watching the Dream Team Kick Ass over everyone was just too cool to pass up..and I don't even care for Basketball very much but winning a game by 60+ points was just a blow out with an exclamation point!

Ever since then, my interest has dwindled.  Honestly I prefer watching the Little League world series vs the Olympics.
