THE OLYMPICS

 

Any free time I've had recently has been spent in front of the TV watching Olympics events.  Love the volleyball, swimming, gymnastics, etc.  How awesome was it when the men won the 4x100 freestyle relay when France was favored (and talking smack)?  JD & I were up past our bedtime (it was almost 11:30), and it looked like we were going to take 2nd place.  I couldn't believe Lezak pulled it off in those last few meters - WOW!  I really didn't think he had time, and I kept telling JD that.  Then I was saying "well, maybe . . ."  Then I was yelling & cheering, and our windows were wide open, and I started to worry that I was waking up the neighbors.    Aw, who cares?  They really should be up watching this!

Have enjoyed watching beach and court volleyball, too.  Not to the final games on that yet, but it's still a joy to watch.

Was getting annoyed at the judging last night during the all-around for women's gymnastics.  It seemed (and the commentators agreed with me) that our girls were being scored lower than they should be and that some others were being scored higher than they should be.  I was going to be pretty ticked if that cost them a medal.  But all was well in the end, despite the judging irregularities, and Lukin & Johnson went 1-2 in the all-around.  Well deserved, ladies.  It was so good that I stayed up until 1 a.m. even though I had to work today.  Hope I can stay awake at choir practice tonight!

The Olympics are awesome this year. Wasn't the woman's all-around live in your state? It was live in New York and ended at 1 a.m., I was thinking the west coast was lucky and got to watch it before 10..but you had to stay up to 1 as well. Hoope all is well and thanks for all the comments on my trip!

Sorry to say, I haven't been watching too much.  I did see Phelp's win his 7th medal...by 1/100 of a second.  Seems each time I would tune in I would see platform diving...and that is not my favorite.

Olympics have been interesting and the relay was awesome.  Blah, blah, blah.  Now for a more pointed question, are you and JD coming back to the choir?

sorry about the Chargers tough loss, that's exactly how the Bills have lost their opening game 2 of the past 5 years so I fell your pain. I've had some interesting topics in my blogs you might like lately..I'm doing a series on who would be on your Mt. Rushmore in various topics like TV actors, Christian musicians, QB's etc. Hope all is well..Jim
