Amendment to Previous Post.
WHEREAS, in a comment to the previous post, Craig observed that he would have added as additional “Cool Thing†the ovation given to the teams from Afghanistan and Iraq; and
WHEREAS, in the same comment, Craig opined that he would have added Bob Costas as an additional “Dumb Thing.; and
WHEREAS, Jay Solo, at Accidental Verbosity, had the same view about Costas and reminded me of a couple things Mr. Costas said that I failed to pay enough attention to; and.
WHEREAS, during a telephone conversation with TJ, who is watching the HD feed of the ceremonies with son-in-law, she observed that she and son-in-law thought that the “Olympic Caldron†looked more like a giant “doobie†than a giant cigarette lighter; and
WHEREAS, I agree with all of the above.
NOW, THEREFORE, the previous Post is hereby amended to include the foregoing as additional observations.
While we’re on the Olympic tangent, let me just say:
Synchronized diving and women’s volleyball. All on the same day. My cup runneth over.
