I would follow up through news broadcast and periodicals.

It was, indeed, a tremendous effort on behalf of all the UK to show the world a little of what they've done, both good and questionable. It was a terrific celebration of the human spirit AND the specific skills of all the Olympians! I watched TOO much but, I'm glad that I did. BTW: My own Olympic thoughts are posted tomorrow. Excellent work, my blogger brother!Roger Poladopouloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17066431272489975794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397494141662696591.post-851773085336287082012-08-19T20:00:58.581-04:002012-08-19T20:00:58.581-04:00Oh, so you you were the one who didn't watch t...Oh, so you you were the one who didn't watch the Olympics. They say that this has been the largest viewing audience for sports on NBC since...well a long time.<br /><br />I hope it was a good book because you missed some "thrill of victory and agony of defeat", as another network used to say, that was really one for the books.Curioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784893681266233567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397494141662696591.post-78827032318521746802012-08-18T18:19:53.196-04:002012-08-18T18:19:53.196-04:00Can you believe that I didn't watch even one m...Can you believe that I didn't watch even one minute of the Olympic games?!?<br /><br />Thanks to a good book, I was occupied throughout this summer's Olympics.Reggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02228963124180428762noreply@blogger.com
