ok, so i had best admit that i have watched exhaustive coverage of the olympiad, including the opening ceremony.................past midnight.....including the interviews with the nba guys who condescended to show up for the umpteenth dream team........they are only a dream team if they win, buy the way...........and so many other guys are playing for their home turf......like the chinese guy......who carried their flag because he was the tallest...........and there are others, from the 200+ countries represented...........i sit and weep,....because i am a sentimental fool on a good day........the koreans marching with clasped hands......the iraqis......the chinese from taipei.......and United States........with fellows like alan iverson marching with his video camera recording it all.........lousy choice for costumes, by the way..........i liked the vibrant green jackets of some less than memorable team........and then when the greek team entered the stadium................so emotionally moving for a woman with no known greek heritage................just the thought of the history.......................i even wept when bjork sang her strange oceania tune....and her gown was drawn out over the athletes to represent unity............i had tears falling as if by remote control.................and the lighting of the flame.....yep...i know that it was origianlly hitler's idea for the flame relay...................well......the guy wasn't stupid....he knew what moved and motivated people.....................and so we are inspired by the flame so many years later....................today i planned my projects for maximum television exposure..............beach volleyball, swimming....michael phelps.......will not every mother in america wish her son were so talented/dedicated.............i do understand that he is going to michigan in the fall.......too bad............, cycling, men's gymnastics.......it is not procrastination if you produce whilst watching tv...................only 2 weeks to go..................
