 Hooray!  The Winter Games are on!

The opening was great - I loved the slam poet the best; great idea, and terrific poem. 

Streaming this all at the computer: will I move for the next few hours?  Not after the men's short track qualifying - Good Lord!

Ah, to celebrate the greatest athletes by sitting on my duff.... I may have to get up and run on the eliptical because they are working me up, but that puts me at the mercy of NBC, and not my lovely CBC streams because although we got *great* reception sending this to the TV last night, today, not so much.  So, NBC?  My sore back and continuing flabby thighs?  Yeah, so your fault. ;)

Oh and Nico started tball today.  He's got the air of a natural about him, provided he keeps focused.  He can *throw*, but not excelling in the control department just yet.  Catching is still an issue because he continues to step away from the ball, not towards it.  He seems obsessed with getting hit in the mouth & losing teeth - what TV has this boy been watching!?!?  Auntie will cure this. We learned about *closing* our mitt when the ball hits, and he was delighted with the results.  SO, he can be taught....  Why yes, I've already drafted his first World Series victory speach, why do you ask? LOL.

I wish I got the Canadian feed (CTV this year, not CBC, btw!) We just have an antenna for over-the-air HD, so no Canadian TV, hah! The NBC coverage just isn't the best, in my opinion, and anyway, I want to know what the Canadians are up to the most...

CTV? Got it. I'm watching as much as I can streaming over the web, rather than put myself at the mercy of NBC. Their coverage is generally horrific, although apparently they promise big changes this year. I will say, Matt Lauer and Bob Costas actually shutting up and letting us enjoy the opening with minimum of inane chatter was a *huge* step in the right direction. Now let's see if they cover any sports the USA *isn't* supposed to 'Gold In' (biathalon fans, hold not thy breath).

I was just watching tonight's time delay (already know all outcomes, but no spoilers) and I will say it was... better. Like, showing the sports, not vamping the sob stories better. Yay!
