Olympic Update

Water very cold, Coach!

The scantily clad gentlemen in the picture are the Chinese water polo team. You might want to download it so you can use it as your screen saver. Or not.

I have to admit that I have watched more coverage of the Olympics this year than all other years put together.

I watched the women's gymnastics heats. Sure, those Chinese girls are 16 and over, and I'm a newborn baby.

I feel worse for them when they goof up because I know it's just going to be a short while before they're bent over in rice paddies for the rest of their lives.

I'm still wrestling (no pun intended) with some of the 'sports.'

Like women's weight lifting. If you're a female weight lifter what chance do you have of ever getting your husband to take out the trash?

I was told that after this year there won't be Olympic baseball or softball. Can that be true? I don't think there is any question that a game with "ball" in its name is a sport. But badminton? Water polo? Isn't that too much like Marco Polo? And why do they wear those Snoopy helmets? To keep their hair dry?
