Wow! Did you see the Opening Ceremonies at the Olympics Friday night? It was amazing. The announcers said that the man in charge of it had a free rein and open pocket-book. The big screen thing on the floor was an LCD screen! Amazing. And those blue rectangle-shoebox shaped things that kept popping up, making designs--I just knew they were computer-controlled, but no! It was all choreographed and done by people. AMAZING.This is one ceremony that I would love to have the dvd to!
And in the middle of watching this, what does my sweet Mother-in-law do? She calls long-distance just to see if her Luci is watching the Olympics! I loved that. Just wanted to know if Luci was watching something from her homeland.
More fabulous photos here. (The photo above is from here)
A stupendous slide-show here.
Complete medal standings here.
No politics, please. China gave us Luci and for that I will always love that country, despite their failings in human rights. And, no matter what you think of their politics, that was an fantastic show!
PS--no, Luci was not watching...she fell asleep on the way home, at 5:30, from dropping John and the boys off at church-a sleep over there-and, except for two short times of waking up, she slept through the night.
