Mental Olympics

Random thoughts about The Games ...

+ If you walk in the house and your son-in-law is watching water polo on television, you know the Olympics are going on.

+ Why do men's beach volleyball players dress somewhat like athletes and women's beach volleyball players dress like they're prepping for an Sports Illustrated swimsuit photo shoot?

+ Have the Olympics gotten you all worked up about the plight of Tibet? Check out www.admg.net and www.truetibetan.com.

+ Don't know about you, but I pumped my fist when the American relay team beat the smack-talking French by a finger in the 400 meter freestyle.

We celebrated a lot of the Olympic games we saw in the evening. Although I am not a sports-minded person, I found myself fascinated with most everything shown (well except for the marathon coverage of the marathons.) Even if it was Bolt winning and setting another world record, it was a great Olympics!

And yes, it was great to see the attitudes put into place.
