I’m not even sure I ca n have that in the subject line without pre-approval from NBC, but they can come and get me if they want!

I watched some last night and I’m speeding through my dvr’d versions of the races.  A few observations:
  • I think the girl’s beach volleyball will wear thongs next year…they’re practically there now.
  • The women swimmers WEAR EARRINGS in competition!  Wow
  • What did the swimmers do outside of the pool before Beets were invented?
  • The coverage is mainly commercials…thank God for fast forward

Notes: This is a family of devout Olympics watchers. Until this point, I’d been telling people that my husband didn’t really ‘sport.’ I was wrong. For the past two weeks, we’ve had Olympics running 24/7 in our house. If you happen to be suffering from withdrawals, don’t be. My MIL had a few bits of commentary about the events. And I’ll be sharing one a day to ease the pain and suffering of the loss of trampoline, synchronized swimming, table tennis and race walking.
