Good Luck to them all!!!!!!!!

Opening ceremonies are very cool....however...NBC's HD coverage is less than optimal....they cant seem to get their cameras in focus....this happens quite a bit with HD I think because it is in its early stages I suppose...

Great stuff otherwise....I love the Winter Olympics!!!!

You are my adversary, but you are not my enemy.
For your resistance gives me strength.
Your will gives me courage.
Your spirit ennobles me.
And though I aim to defeat you, should I succeed, I will not humiliate you.
Instead, I will honour you.
For without you, I am a lesser man.

“Opponent”, from Celebrate Humanity

Goodluck cold nation types...except in hockey.

Mute button is on. The music got annoying real fast.

In every opening ceremony of every Olympics there is a "WTF??" moment.

Like the parade of pick-up trucks in Atlanta.

This year it was 2 things....

The raising of the little flags on the backs of the Tyrolean horn blowers made me laugh.

The dancing cows... nuff said.
