The Olympics are Here (Actually, in China)

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.
Yeah, I'll be addicted to this for the next two weeks.

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.
