The Olympics are here! The Olympics are here!

Just hunkered down on the sofa this evening, puffy feet elevated on several pillows in front of me, rain falling in buckets outside my windows (huzzah!!), watching the opening ceremony for the Olympics.

WOW!!!

What a spectacle! Truly something to behold. Almost pitched an absolute fit -- I was on my way to the phone! -- when NBC's sound went kaput just as the Chinese national anthem was starting; I thought for sure it was a political statement. I was ready to get all stabby! Turns out it was (allegedly) just weather-related. Questionable. But the sound came back and the ceremony is truly beautiful.

Yay for Olympics!! Go world!!
