The Olympics [a smidge]

I remembered the lyrics to the Jamaican National Anthem! And sang them along with Usain Bolt's medal ceremony. Bwee.

I have not gotten to see nearly as much as I would have liked of this year's Olympics, but I'm glad they are happening. I always love the Olympics. These are just plain the sort of sport I actually enjoy watching.

Does anyone remember ABC's Wide World of SPorts? "The thrill of victory.... and the agony of defeat." *cue skier rolling ass=over-teakettle down a snowy hill* I wish that were still on, a weekly dose of track/swimming/gymnastics/etc. But I'm glad the Olympics are on right now, even if I haven't seen much of them. Yet.

Oh! I thought the aforementioned lyrics would be behind the cut. I'm even more thrilled to read your delight.

We should figure out how I can sing them for you. :)
