there's a fencing commercial!
Ha! I saw! The entire fencing club was out drinking and getting loud for random moments that the rest of the bar wasn't especially yelling for. The Vietnamese flag bearer got more love than he probabably did in any bar in North Carolina, just for being a fencer.
(Mariel is a former teammate of my coach, do we were all over both the ad and her being the US bearer)
Did either annoying commentator seem to have the least clue about the significance of Glastonbury Tor? All I heard was Matt Lauer reading the dictionary definition of "tor."
Ha, I love that closeup one. She's actually totally gorgeous, really. I want her skin when I'm her age.

Nope.
Jeremy Renner and Betty White are on Leno tonight. That should be fun. I never watch Leno, but I'll tape it for them.
Just found out Charlottesville is getting a Trader Joe's and an IMAX theater! Yes, if I read a newspaper or watched news I'd have known it sooner.
It seems to me that "according to legend, Glastonbury Tor is the island of Avalon, the last resting place of King Arthur" is a more interesting factoid than "a tor is a rock outcropping or hill."
I think my cable, which is supposed to cut out tomorrow, just stopped dead in the middle of the Opening Ceremony.
The Queen's oh so enthusiastic pronouncement to let the games begin cracked me up.
The cauldron is gorgeous!

Has good video of that hit anywhere online yet? My search isn't turning any up, but my Google-fu isn't as good as some of you folks.
Bon, I asked my orthro about a letter for flying. He said they used to issue cards for people, like with hip replacements, but the TSA ignores them now.
So get a letter from your ortho if the flight's post surgery and you have a half cast, a wrap and dressings that can't be removed yet, but you will have to be wanded and body-searched, I'm afraid.
