  I didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night. Maybe a couple of hours with a little napping during today. The Olympics have me pretty much glued to the TV, which leads me to my main rant for the evening. Last night for over 1.5 hours the only Olympic "sport" on was the equestrian. This is a sport?!?!
For 90 minutes of my time I had to watch rich snobs dressed like complete weenies riding horses in circles for far too long at a time. The kicker was that the horse did all the work, and the commentators only talked about the horses. I didn't stick around to see the end result, but I sure hope that they hung the medals on the horses' necks. At the moment I am watching the Wisconsin Hamm twins about to seal a medal for the US men's team gymnastics. Go cheeseheads. The US is really not doing too well from what I've seen during these games. A couple of nights ago Matt and I watched a special on the History Channel on the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Today I heard a low-flying plane, and even though I have visited the USS Arizona Memorial, it hadn't really dawned on me before that I am living only a mile or two from that actual attack spot. I can see the north end of the harbor from my balcony. I took a couple of minutes today to try and imagine what that must have sounded like from where I am sitting right now.
It's kind of eerie. It's also kind of cool to know that my grandma was stationed on this same island almost sixty years ago. I am looking forward to talking to her when I return home in October. That reminds me, I need to get my tickets soon. Well, after this gymnastics competition is over, I am going to try and get some sleep. Later!
