WOW - what a couple of days it has been. The opening ceremonies were, without a doubt, the best I have seen yet. Just blew my mind away! Who has THAT much time to come up with all that stuff? Someone is getting paid very well. I don't know what impressed me more - the overall visual effects, the parade of nations or the lighting of the torch. OK - has to be the lighting of the torch. What a great affect that was. Got chills (or tears) just like I did when Ali lit the torch at Atlanta. Way cool.
Today (tonight on tv) the "girls" rocked in their first round of volleyball. I can only describe May and Walsh as poetry in motion...they instinctively know what they are doing. And the hand signals behind their backs help too! Michael Phelps won his first heat...wow, we're off to a pretty good start. Although the men did lose a beach volleyball round today...but, can we win them all? We can certainly try!
I'm going to loose a lot of sleep over the next couple of weeks.

Ok - I'm not a big Olympics person anymore - I don't know why really but I did see the end of the relay last night waiting for Don's phone call from San Diego - what a great finish!! I used to watch gymnastics and the show jumping the most!
