| Olympics!!!!!!! The opening ceremonies are on live right now on CBC (Canadian Broadcast Channel) - they always have much better coverage than our American networks do. The parade of Nationas is currently arriving. This is my favorite part of the Opening ceremonies!!! I love to see what the countries are wearing and it warms my heart to see all the nations together in peace in one venue!!!!! I am so excited for the swimming events and am looking forward to many world records, to see Michael Phelps and Katie Hoff make history and to cheer on the "old lady" Dara Torres!!!! I also lolve watching diving, gymnastics and track and field. If you happen to see the trampoline events, it is awesome!!!!!! Those are my favorites, but I like to watch them all. Also, check out this link to the Olympic Gardens made especially for the event - you won't be sorry...... Olympic Gardens What are you looking forward to watching????

| Oops...didn't have time to finish typing. I like watching gymnastics, swimming and diving. In that order. I like watching the equestrian events, but they rarely have them on to watch. I like track and field, but only some of them...I don't like the wierd stuff like discus and javoline and I don't like watching people run 5 miles around and around, but I like the shorter races. (Seems like the majority of the track team is from the Univ of Oregon! Those ducks do alot of running apparently.) Hubby likes to watch the Basketball, go figure. Speaking of which, I'm I the only one slightly...bothered, for lack of better term...by the fact that people who play here on US teams go back to their home countries to play for the Olymipcs? Anyone have any friends or relatives going to compete? |

| The torch lighting was awesome (a little drawn out, but cool nonetheless) and the torch is really neat!!!

| I like to watch gymnastics, diving and the swimming events. I like the winter Olympics better because of the figure skating.

| I love the Olympics. I like gymnastics, diving, swimming and track and field. The President certainly did not look too bored today flanked by two gorgeous women in bikinis (beach volleyball). He was having a great time!!! Opening ceremonies were awsome.
