I don´t know if this is a good thing...but I am hooked on the olympics from day one. I´m watching Beach Volley, Swimming, Cycling sense this morning.. I´m afraid it´s gonna be a lot of hours infront of the telly.
I watch the entire Olympic ceremony last night. 4,5 hours later I was stooned death. But I manage to see the whole thing. It was amazing. The story´s, the music shows, the guest´s appearance, the fire works, the volunteers. I loved it.

Healthy people have a glow about them. Even the women (gay man here - don't usually notice 'em) were quite attractive.

I agree, 'hunnerd percent. I was thinking the same thing, even about the young women, as I was watching the parade. Some of those young folks were smiling so broadly you'd think their faces would crack. ;D

I don't think too much of those berets, either. However, since it was pointed out that the U.S. military wears berets these days, I guess we U.S. folks aren't allowed to criticize them. ::) ;) ;D
(I suppose you've heard the controversy about the uniforms being designed by Ralph Lauren but manufactured in China? I heard yesterday that the uniforms for the Winter Olympics will be manufactured in the U.S.)

I heard Michael Phelps barely qualified for the 400 m Individual Medley (I think I have the even correct?).
At the risk of sounding mean-spirited, I think Phelps is old news. I have a sneaking suspicion that despite what he says publicly, at some level he just no longer has the fire in him that he had four years ago.
