Anybody else enjoying watching the Olympics this year.  I didn't particulary enjoy the opening ceremonies, but I have enjoyed watching the gymnastics, swimming and the volleyball so far.  Some amazing stories and atheletes.  My kids and I, have had a good time this last few days watching them.

We've been enjoying the swimming and gymnastic events, Henry. The girls' gymnastic team did a fantastic job last night.  :yes:

GoUSA!

I agree with you.   The opening ceremony this time around sucked as compared to other ones I've seen.  I haven't gotten to watch as much as I would have liked, but have enjoyed watching them while we're eating out or something.  Plan to tune in more later this week and next.

I wish NBC wouldn't run political ads during the Olympics telecasts.  :rant:

Preach it man!  Couldn't agree with you more.
