Olympics


What a weekend of sports on TV. I don't think we changed channels all weekend except to go from one Olympic event to a different Olympic event. Although in the past I have not been overly thrilled with the opening ceremony, this time it was spectacular. We watched it on the big screen which is not high def and it was fabulous. I can only imagine how great it would have been as HD. If you missed it, you can watch it on NBC Olympic site.
We got up early yesterday to watch USA mens b-ball. That was good but not as good as last night's gold in swimming - the men's relay. What a moment. Even the diving last night was great. With all the digital channels that are covering this, I think there will be events on all day. Love it! That's it for the weekend report from Palm Desert. We did manage to tear ourselves away long enough for church on Sunday and to buy new tires for the Corvette on Saturday (ouch!!!). Now it's back to the TV to watch more events. I guess the new book I bought on Saturday - Barefoot by Elin Hilderbrand, will just have to wait till this is all over in two weeks.
