Hey, you folks in Utah--Surreal, Howste, and all--what's it like, having the Olympics there?

Back in ('86??) in L.A., the whole town went NUTZ--and those pastel colors were everywhere. The presence of it was almost a touch-able thing!

What a great opening ceremony. Hearing "God Bless America" sung by someone who can really sing (rather than some boy band), and hearing the National Anthem in four-part harmony (not sounding like some hip hop tune sung by a pop slut).

Too bad the Super Bowl people can't figure out how to do this.

Favorite Winter Olympic events...

The downhill, slalom ... all the skiing (jumping too!)

Hockey

but not that biatholon thing where they ski, then shoot, then ski then shoot - probably cool if your competing in it, but not a spectator sport..
