The opening ceremony for the 2008 Olympics was absolutely stunning tonight.  I am amazed at the focus and precision the Chinese showed during their ceremony.  It was really something special.  I can’t imagine the energy within the stadium as they performed live.  The parade of nations is nearing its end as I am writing this.  The next 2 weeks should prove entertaining as the stage is here for the athletes.  I mowed a little over half our yard today, just about 4 hours worth.  Hopefully I will finish up the cutting tomorrow and then it’s time for weed eating.  I’ll be glad when that’s over and done with.  Oh well, at the least the heat has lowered.  By the way, did I mention that IT’S THE WEEKEND!
