Sad news was on our evening news that a 21 year old boy died while practicing at the Olympics a few hours ago.

I'll be watching, too. Love the opening ceremonies!

Yes, I did see that news story about the luge incident when I booted up the laptop this afternoon. How sad for his team and family. I hope that is the only tragedy this year.

Our coverage starts in about 30 minutes...So sad that young man died in a freak accident...
But, I am looking forward to watching all the young people excel at their sports...

The Olympics are starting now so turn your tv on!

Have fun and anyone going to be working on any small quilt projects while you will be watching the Olympics?

I will be watching the Olympics. I have a needlepoint that I work on during TV time with my husband every evening. I am looking forward to see the opening ceremonies. I don't think any country will ever be able to out-do what China did.
I heard about the young man. Such a tragedy. My heart goes out to his family.
