Go USA...
Here I am at 2:30am, watching Olympic gymnastics.
It brings back memories- of a night in 1984, sitting out in the hot tub with my parents, we brought a TV outside to watch Mary Lou Retton perform her perfect 10s. Ah, those were the days.
Now sitting here watching these little girls bouncing 15 feet in the air just off their feet, it reminds me that I'd probably fall on my head doing a simple cartwheel. Why are these girls not affected by the laws of gravity like I am???
On another note, I went to the Olympic website to check the schedule and saw that you can "watch events live" on the Internet. So I thought, cool, I'll check out what's going on in the Equestrian arena.
Following the link to watch the live webcast, I was then told I had to install the plug-in "Microsoft SilverLight." This is where I start to bitch. It irritates the bejesus out of me that every time you turn around you have download something else, run another active-x control, and install a friggin plug-in. And Microsoft of course jumps on the opportunity of using the Olympics to promote the downloading of their software. Then the damn thing didn't even work. Grrr. So much for watching "live."
Okay, end of rant. GO USA.

good grief girl, 2:30 in the morning, you're probably eating pizza, drinking a beer, that's why you can't jump 15 feet into the air off bare feet............lol...........those kids (some older) are fun to watch.
I also hate those plug-ins, seem never to work after loading, too much trouble.
Have a great week. j.d.
Nope, I don't like beer... I did however have a glass of sherry. :)
