Olympic Opening Ceremonies.
So I just finished watching the entire opening ceremonies...with the occasional PIP channel flip during the Parade of Nations to watch some UFC fights. I've watched nearly every opening ceremony since the late 70's...my parents did the same. I have to say that this opening ceremony was the grandest spectacle I have ever seen.
As Bob Costas (anchor hosting the games and a journalist who has covered the Olympics for over 25 years) elequantly put it during the torch lighting phase, "If Olympic Opening Ceremonies were a contest, you'd retire the trophy." WOW, utterly amazing. I simply can't begin to explain it.

Truly breathtaking I also have watched them since i was born. Craftsman Jr. seemed to enjoy it too.
That painting was so cool. I wonder if any of those athletes were China's Mohammad Ali.

Cool, some of my earliest memories was of the entire family and extended family gathered round the TV watching the Olympics in the summer. How about that last guy running around the stadium with the frickin torch! My goodness.
