Olympics


The Olympics are half way through.  We have really enjoyed watching the competition.  My husband has our PVR recording all day and all night.  Watching Summer McIntosh at 17 has been spectacular.  Every Canadian athlete whose competed deserves credit.  The pressure must be incredible.

Last night Lexie came for dinner.  Cec put on the women's parallel bars. She was better than the CBC commentators.  When she was in gymnastics she said she did floor and trampoline, but never the parallel bars.  She must have watched a lot of girls in competition as she really knew when they made an small error or really nailed a hard sequence.  Lexie got an injury and she never went back to gymnastics. 

My neighbour told me he heard Tom Cruise will be in the closing ceremonies on Sunday.  The next summer Olympics will be in Los Angeles in 2028.  



Some nice thoughts for Friday
