I dont watch the Olympics. I find it boring. Now if they went back to the original way of taking part ie: in the nude, it would be a lot more ineresting. I might even watch it then. He he he.

Ouch! Son in law and owner of site deleted by a Ron, I can see it now. I'd use the N word on you Chris for your post, but Peter would jump on me.

I didn't realize that the Olympics were so close. I guess it might work out well, as I have my surgery on Monday and will have time to just sit and watch. Well that's not true. I have several books, a crash course in ASL, a home-study book for grammar for adults (I need to brush up my skills for the ASL class), and a 'How to use your camera' course on DVD, 

I'm not a person to sit and watch TV, so I've got plenty of things lined up to help me pass the time of day.

I too like the swimming, diving, fencing, and gymnastics.

LOL@POE,

I like the atheletics, and the swimming especially. Mark Spitz used to be one of my heroes.  Anyone remember him??

I understand that there is a 'pocket' version of that game. You can  amuse yourself on long journeys.
