The Winter Olympics

Did anyone watch the opening ceremonies for the Winter Olympics last night? It was a most impressive show!

Kudos to the Italian Olympic Committee, and the choreographer for the show, and to all those who participated.

The ceremony took place at San Siro Stadium in Milan. Additionally, there was a simultaneous ceremony in Cortina d'Ampezzo, featuring the lighting of two Olympic cauldrons: one in Milan and another in Cortina. By the way, announcers mentioned San Siro Stadium holds 80,000 plus people, and it was packed. What a sight to see thousands of phone screens waving in the darkness.

I've always loved watching the Winter Olympics. If I had a chance to attend the Winter versus the Summer, I'd bust out the jacket and long johns.

This will be my first Olympics while being retired. No scheduled appointments for the next two weeks, so the time difference should not present a problem for watching the events.

Cross Country skiing events, Bobsledding and the Luge are my favorites. What are your favorite events?
