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.

I finally gave up on NBC entirely, and have been enjoying the CBC and the BBC, both of which are less packaged, more interested in the sports, and, while they root for their own countries, they also root for good effort and well-done events.

I used to love Wide World of Sports, too. I miss Jim McKay.
