I finally figured out that it has to do with the presentation by the network. I understand that there is a time difference but I can remember a time when they showed the events in real time during the day and then did a review in the evening. Now they pretend that this is happening at the moment rather than 6 hours previous. Also I am getting tired of creating stories where there are none. Shouldn&#8217;t the games themselves be exciting enough. The exception was Ms. Flowers and her son who can hear now. That was a real story and it had a happy ending when one of her sponsors (Kleenex, how appropriate was that?) flew her family over to be with her. That was news worthy but if I hear another one about Bode Miller and the &#8220;controversy&#8221; he stirs I am going to hurl (and not in the curling sense). So Miller drinks and acts like a jerk on TV. Gee how many sitcoms or &#8216;reality&#8217; shows can I see that on? Deciding that something is interesting does not make it so.<\/p>\n<p>My very un-interesting day is going to consist of cleaning and writing with a possible trip to the movie theater with Caroline and Ariel to see <i>Curious George<\/i>.
