Olympics

As has many people, I have been watching some of the Olympics on TV. Unfortunately, out here on the West Coast, NBC is showing the day's major events from 8:00 p.m. to 12 midnight and taking up a large part of the first two hours with less interesting events and holding the ones most people want to see until the last two hours. Nevertheless, it is really inspirational and heart-warming to see the joy on the faces of the athletes (and their parents) participating in the Olympics after many years of training and sacrifice. Most of these Olympic athletes will not see big money payoffs from their participation in the Olympics. As a result, it is even more inspirational to again be reminded that such individuals still exist in today's society. The USA can certainly be proud of all members of the Olympic Team. Go USA!!!
