What is so compelling about the Olympics? Is it the thrill of watching athletes perform on the edge? Is it seeing countries take their first Olympic medals? Is it the pageantry of the opening and closing ceremonies? Is it wondering what Mary Carillo’s next topic will be? Is it marveling that short track speed skating resembles a demolition derby? Is it discovering that, in curling, sweeping is used to reduce the amount of curling?
Whatever the draw is I had to watch. I refuse to add up the hours but add to whatever that number would be the hours I spent online. To see all the figure skaters I was watching a live eastern European stream while NBC showed only the top skaters interspersed between the other sports.
It has been a great ride but now it is time to return to reading, watching movies, and getting up off the couch for some exercise until 2014.
