Any one else missing the games? Regular tv programing sucks, and I've watched every news story possible.

    I'm missing the games, but on the other hand I'm glad I'm not going to bed at 12:30 every night now.

    I really got into this one so I'm kind of sad it's over but hey, I'm probably going to be in London when the 2012 Olympics comes round so it's all good :)

    Yeah missing em bigtime. Was good to always have something to watch when I got home at night but my sleeping pattern is still about 2 hrs behind. Not as bad as the Tour de France.

    And was great in Sydney - everyone embraced it big time
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    I stopped referring to it as "news" years ago. I prefer the term, "noise".

    Watch the US Open tennis tournament. It's on every night for the next two weeks.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
