Normally I don't watch the opening/closing ceremonies (I think the commercial breaks typically get me all mad and not wanting to watch them), but I watched ALMOST to the end last night and was in amazement of everything! (I missed the flame coming into the stadium and the torch lighting)
I also love seeing the countries with a small delegation (I guess those who aren't athletes are something like coaches, judges, etc, right?) and you always hope they'll do well, even if they're not considered to be a threat to the medals (I was with you A Random DPhiE and Lady Pi Phi about the Kenyan competitor naming his first born son after the gold medalist in his event - I think he was from Finland/Norway?)
It's funny to be sitting here and listening to Matt Vasgersian (however you spell his last name
) commenting on the Olympics and not Padres baseball!
