Olympics

So, I'm sure that most people around the interwebs at least know that the Summer Olympics are being held in London, England right now. I figure it's time for my thoughts on it.

Generally I don't care to watch the Summer Olympics. You can blame that mostly on the fact that where I live, winter lasts about half the year. (In fact, the joke in my neck of the woods is that our seasons are winter, almost winter, still winter, and construction).

I am sure I will tune in to some of the events that I have a passing interest in (women's football (soccer for the uninitiated), perhaps the track events, maybe the basketball).

I applaud the efforts and sacrifice of any athlete, no matter what their sport. It takes a great deal of time, money and effort to get to the Olympic stage. I just don't happen to be interested in a lot of the events. So have a good time, and make your fans proud, okay?

I'm off to watch the CFL.
