Our friend Dan hosted the olympics party on Friday evening. Everyone was in a festive spirit, wearing red, white, and blue for the occasion. Except Adele. Adele was a rebel. ;)
I must confess I haven't really been keeping up with the olympics. Maybe "keeping up with" isn't the right term? I read the news headlines of who won which event, and sometimes I'll read a backstory on new rules or how a ping-pong player has a ridiculously rigorous training schedule (i kid you not!). But I don't watch the olympics. Probably because I don't really watch television in general. This was met with gasps from a few of my friends. So it's good Dan had a get together specifically celebrating the olympics. Because you guessed it-I actually sat down and watched the competition unfold.
We watched swimming, diving and a little bit of the gymnastics. The diving brought back memories of going to the olympic trials in knoxville, tennessee a few years ago. I am simply in awe of the athletes' agility. The same goes for gymnasts. They have incredible flexibility, balance, strength, and their willpower is bar none.
