Summer Olympics
I have been hooked on the Olympics since last weekend. I told myself I wasn't interested in watching it this time, but I should have known better. Ever since I watched Mary Lou Retton as a small child, the summer Olympics have been exciting to me. Then when softball was added, I was even more excited. I was in the middle of my high school softball craze and made one of my goals to be in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. Unfortunately, that's one goal I didn't reach.
NBC reporter Mary Carillo is travelling around China showing some of it's unique and interesting characteristics. She is very funny and her witty exchanges with Bob Costas is one of my favorite parts of the primetime coverage.
Michael Phelps won gold in all eight of his races. He is an extraordinary young man. Raised by a single mom and diagnosed with ADHD, he shows what a person can do with hard work and dedication.
Nastia Luikin and Shawn Johnson finished with gold and silver repectively in the all-around gymnastics competition, the first time in history for U.S. women to do so. The body control of the gymnasts is amazing.

PBS to Discontinue Daily Syndication of "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood"
PBS has decided to discontinue their weekday syndication of "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood". I grew up with Mr. Rogers. There was always a lesson/theme in every show. It was a "quiet" time to slow down and gather one's thoughts. He taught to resolve conflicts peacefully; to like who you are as a person and that you are special just as you are. As the world gets more and more violent and our children seem to idolize tasteless and dangerous celebrities, I think these lessons are more needed now than ever. I hope that PBS changes their mind. If you want to let them know how you feel, this site has links to allow you to do so.
