I don’t know about you, but I am addicted to the Olympics. The late nights are killing me, but every evening, I can’t make myself go to bed until its over, no matter how many times I have to “rest my eyes.” I am enjoying the time with my son as he marvels over the triumphs of Katie Ledecky and Kerri Walsh Jennings. I personally love watching the gymnastics. It amazes me how they can do what they do. What is your favorite event?
