Olympic Excitement

I've been anxiously counting down the start of the olympics. JL and I are big summer olympic fans. The winter olympics are ok but it seems like there are more summer sports that we're interested in.

JL likes the track & field stuff. I'm all about the swimming and diving. We both equally despise the gymnastics (although I will watch it). But it's the thrill of watching any of the olympic sports that I'm really a fan of. I just get this overwhelming sense of national pride.

I tried with no luck to get my satellite company out before the opening ceremonies tomorrow night so I could watch them in HD. Unfortunately (for whatever reason) they don't have my satellite pointed to the "HD local channel orbital" and they can't get a technician out to fix the problem until the 21st!!! Too bad. I was SO looking forward to watching Michael Phelps in HD. :-)

I'd feel sorry for you, if it wasn't for the fact that my satellite went completely out today and they can't help me til the 22nd. I was so mad that I would miss the entire Olympics, that I switched providers today. I can't have any programming til the 13th, but that was my only choice. I even missed the opening ceremonies. SO STEAMED!
