Mrs. Bush is like wives everywhere. Her husband wants to talk to the person 3 seats down, so he talks over her. (I suspect that he has more to say to Putin than 'how'd you like those drums?')

The little kids were sweet.

We're only about 1/2 hour into it here. I think I have a ways to go. The printing segment was cool. There sure are a lot of people involved in the production.

I'm a little bit behind on the coverage (on Australia now) thanks to Big Brother but I'm about ready for the torch lighting myself. I'm getting tired. LOL!!!

I'm up to Yao Ming now leading the Chinese in. What a great story about the little boy going in with Yao. Wow!

I thought the segment on environmentalism was kind of interesting. It not like they are the most environmental country in the world. I guess may be a dream than anything.

Twink - I'm hanging in for the long haul. Already gone through the popcorn though. Note to self - stock up on more munchies for the next 2 weeks.

Is it my imagination or are cell phones and digital cameras banned? So far, I haven't seen any. At the last Olympics, everyone had them from the smallest to largest country.

The Opening Ceremonies were fantastic! Meanwhile, as the countries march in, our President looks bored. Geez...

Yeah, it gets kind of long and boring. When I looked at the infield, it is only 1/3rd full, so we've got some time here on the WC.

I saw a lot of the athletes with digital cameras so I guess they weren't banned.

Yeah, I started seeing more about 1/3rd into it.

Finally, the US coming up in their Ralph Laurens. What can be more American than that?
