So the 2004 Summer Olympics are on, and after seeing a few minutes of last night's opening ceremonies, climaxing with the lighting of the torch, and watching part of the parade of nations on replay, it's safe to say...I'm hooked again, and will be watching.

This is the time when one regrets picking up additional work hours for the week, especially that 12-1 hour on Monday, when the 200 meter freestyle race takes center stage. I'm not too familiar with all four of the big names, but suffice to say, they're good, and it should be quite the race. Now how to get a TV into the switchboard?
