So who lit the torch, about 10 youth, what a show.

And the Illuminati didn't sacrifice any of them yet! Must be running a bit behind schedule?

I liked all the Beatles songs.

I thought the cover Come Together was great. So was the lead singer. It's a group called "The Arctic Monkeys"

Paul McCartney is an amazing entertainer. You can always tell when someone is sincere about wanting to please from the stage and I have to say that he still has it at 70 years old.

Yea, it was one hell of a good show, from James Bond to the Queen, the Brits did themselves proud.

There are a lot of sports I like to watch in the Olympics, but I never know when anything is on. I miss the good ol days when one could come home from work, turn on the network of whoever had the Olympics and one could see everything of any importance that happened. They picked the best stuff and broadcast it. But that was before the 24 hour news cycle and the internet. Now everything has to be live or the internet will scoop the coverage and everyone will already know who won and not watch the broadcast.

Anyway, I have no idea when anything is on, or what channel it will be on.

I am watching women's basketball, USA / Croatia and the first period just ended, score, 9 to 4. This is on about 50 shots from each team, can anybody say choke.

Second period just started and the score is already 15 to 7

Vino winning is totally gold

This guy is a great character, though has a rather checkered history, with drug suspension, plus a year or two back there are claims that he won a big one day race by offering the rider that he was leading with a bribe to allow him to win. So I'm wondering what the pay off was to Uran yesterday. So much for amateur sports hehe.
