I've been sitting here watching the Olympics for the last few hours. I love the Olympics. I missed the Opening Ceremonies last night because I just forgot.
The Opening Ceremonies are usually boring as heck so I don't watch, but it looks like this one was actually pretty cool. Oh well. It'll all wind up on YouTube eventually.
I watched a lot of men's gymnastics. All the Americans are cute. I was also impressed with the ethnic diversity of our team. A whole slew of cute little men in all different flavors, including roosky. We are the world.
Then I watched Michael Phelps win his first gold of these games. He's great. The thing that impressed me the most however, is that he has the most beautiful skin I've ever seen. I'm watching this in high def and I'm telling you, the guy looks like he's wearing fake skin. I'm not talking about no body hair, either. I know they've been shaving everything for years. No, I'm talking not a freckle, not a pimple, not a scratch, bruise or flake. This guy spends most of his time in a pool. Shouldn't he have at least a patch of dry skin on him? Nope, not Aquaman.
There's another American swimmer named Larsen Jensen.
Larsen Jensen.
Apparently Hensen Jensen was already taken.
The unstoppable beach volleyball team of Misty Mae and the Skinny Giantess won their first round.
Now I'm watching the Chinese and Japanese men's gymnastic teams make mistakes.
This morning I went to Menard's and bought new doors for my kitchen. We had pocket doors on the bedroom off the kitchen and the basement stairs. We got rid of those years ago to put in a new cupboard and the wine rack. We replaced them with bi fold doors. Originally we had mahogany bi folds, to go with the kitchen cupboards. When we installed the granite counter tops, the wooden cupboard doors looked distracting so we painted them all white. The bi folds were the last bit of natural wood left in the kitchen and now they're white and go with everything else. The kitchen finally looks totally beachy. I put on the knobs and a hook to lock the bedroom door during Olympic commercials.
I went to the Tin Fish for dinner. That's the sea food grill on Lake Calhoun. Josie and I joined Katie and her kids and we were joined by Kenny, a friend who's wife and kids were still up at the cabin.
What the hell is with Bob Kostas's hair???!!!
Dinner was delicious and there's no better place to eat than there at the edge of Lake Calhoun. We watched the sailboats while we ate. Then we all went out on the dock where there was a ridiculously huge boat tied up at the end. Lake Calhoun is slightly bigger than three miles around. It's not Lake Superior. No one needs a twenty foot boat that sleeps four on this lake. Naturally, we mocked it. Loudly. Naturally, the guy standing right behind us was heading
Bela Karolyi looks great!
toward the huge boat to join his party there. It was called "Excessive".
Oh, like they don't expect to be mocked.
