And my time is my own now that I'm retired, too.<br /><br />I just loved the whole 15 days - from the Opening Ceremony through to the Closing Ceremony and all in between. I also believe Rio did a wonderful job.<br /><br />Like you, I got sleep when I could. And when I did sleep, I was recording the three channels that covered the events! lol<br /><br />My ex was doing similar and we talked, via phone, every day...more than once a day....as the events were happening, coming up or had been completed. We both were suffering withdrawals when the Games were over and didn't know what to do with ourselves! :) It was good to share the enjoyment, the thrills, the ups and the downs with someone who was loving the whole thing as much as I was. <br /><br />So I do understand what you're saying and how much you would've enjoyed sharing it with your son...who was there! How thrilling! <br /><br />So many people seem so blasé about the Olympics, but I wasn't.

Set my clock to Rio time and got my sleep when nothing was happening there. Events wise that is, there's always something happening in Rio. Even planned my getaway around the games. My son was there and we set a Messaging record (it was a pairs event). I wish there were more Olympic fanatics with whom I could discuss all the wonderful things I witnessed.

I wanted to watch the Olympics.<br /><br />I've always enjoyed and tried to watch as much of them as I could, but, of course, when I was working I didn't get the chance to fulfill my want. I'm now among the retired set (not the latte set) so my time is my own to do with how I like...and I do.<br /><br />I know not everyone likes the Olympics...that's okay...but I do. I enjoy very much seeing people giving it their all...trying to achieve the best of themselves that is physically and mentally possible...in all fields, not only sports. It sure beats watching and hearing about people killing and maiming each other etc., etc.<br /><br />Thanks for coming by.
