I'm really excited about the Olympics. Only comes around every four years, and there's always plenty of drama and the unfolding of neat stories.

• Right now, I'm watching Kerri Walsh and Misty May in beach volleyball.
• Had men's gymnastics earlier, but I didn't care for it, so mainly read and book and sat outside while Jordi was in the grass.
• Actually enjoyed women's fencing earlier in the day (not sure I'd ever seen fencing before).
• Cycling doesn't work on TV, unless it's one of those small oval tracks.
• I generally dislike soccer--scoring so rarely happens. I like a sport where things happen. But I enjoyed watching some soccer earlier today.
• Saw that Chinese girl win a gold in weight-lifting. Pretty impressive.
• Of course, I love Olympic basketball.

The opening ceremonies were pretty impressive. But I was mainly interested--as I always am--in how the flame is lit. The Chinese did it pretty cool. But nothing beats that arrow shot in Barcelona. That's still the best.
