Olympics

I love watching them, but I am at work hand though I have had the set on, I am only capturing glimpses.

 

I like summer Olympics just as much.

I got to go to Salt Lake City when the winter Olympics were there. We, among other things, got to see a bobsled event.

 

I'm a self-admitted Olympics junkie.

If I had extra money, I'd collect Olympic posters & memorabilia.

Lifelong dream: To attend an Olympic games. My former church wouldn't let me off to go see them in Atlanta in 1996.
Maybe one day.

Hey, Steven, we'll go halves, you and me. We'll split expenses even, 70/30. :laugh:

 

Not only are we watching but I have my homeschooler doing a four week study of them!

So far they have been very exciting.

 

My passion sparked when I drove through Atlanta the year or two before they held it and found they were on a run to improve Atlanta before the Olympics came. I made a decision at that time to go back to Atlanta in a mission effort at the Olympics. I went back for two weeks and did so.

My passion continued with a mission project in Salt Lake City, then to Athens, Greece.

I look forward to another day (and job) that will permit me to attend yet another Olympics.

 

I love the Olympics. One summer I saw the Olympic torch three times. In 1996, I saw the torch in Knoxville, in a town north of there, and in Louisville, KY. I saw it in 1984 here and in Cincinnati. They say the Olympic torch sighting is a once in a lifetime event. Well, I've lived five lifetimes I know!

I have been on an olympic venue. The 1996 Olympic kayaking was held on the Ocoee River just a couple hours away here in TN.

I like the Winter Games more than the Summer games. 1980 turned me into a junkie, but I appreciated even the '76 summer games.

 

I'm gonna watch it for the hockey!
