The Queen's Chair: I'll Be Glad When The Winter Olympics Are Over
I haven't been watching the Winter Olympics too much. Frankly, I find them boring. I don't ski, don't ice skate, play hockey, and you can forget about snowboarding. Besides all that snow, the Winter Olympics aren't that diverse for me. I'm glad Shani Davis won his gold medal in speed skating. Then there's the guy affectionately called "The Snow Leopard" from Ghana competing in his first Olympics. That's exciting.
I'd rather see The Summer Olympics. It's warm. Love the track and field events: the relays, hurdles, sprints. The swimming, the cycling, women's softball, basketball..etc. There's more of a variety.
Congratulations to the winners, but I can't wait until the games are done. I just need to see something else on TV.

Sister Marsha,
I can't believe you don't find the Winter Olympics exciting! Are you just saying that or are you for real? I was quite fascinated by those guys sledding around slippery track on their bellies and on their backs trying to figure out just how on God's green earth (and at this time of the year white earth) they don't slide off those sleds or luge.
I didn't realize that it's possible to ski as well as those guys do and then flip in the air and keep moving like nothing happened. I do admit that my favorite thing to watch is the iceskating because of the grace of the skaters, but to each his/her own... we all have what we like. ((smiling at you))
