Summer Olympics

I don't know what it is...maybe it's because I know first hand, watching my boys and their passions for the sports they participate in, the hard work, the sadness in their losses, the dedication it takes to win. Maybe it's watching behind the scenes...the athletes and their parents and families. Or maybe it's just pride in my country. Whatever it may be, I have certainly become addicted to the Summer Olympics and I love rooting for the USA. In particular, I have enjoyed watching swimming...who can't love Michael Phelps and watching his mom and sisters? Gymnastics has been fun to watch...the mistakes and comebacks of the young women who participate. I also like watching beach volleyball and wrestling. I tried watching some of the Winter Olympics a couple of years ago and just found myself mad that it preempted other shows. Not this time. I am enjoying every minute! Go USA!
