Are you watching?

"Winter" Olympics? More like "Spring" Olympics with the warm Western Canadian weather. I've never really been a fan of the olympic games, and over the years I've watched less and less on TV. To me, this whole "olympic scene" has become over–hyped starting with nations and cities competing with each other, many years in advance, to convince those in charge to "bring it here!" Promises are made to spend billions to make it the best event ever. Often those promises are not fully realized—sometimes due to poor planning, and other times due to events one can't control, such as the weather. I'm not really watching closely this year, but that's just me. I'm sure millions are glued to their TV sets nightly, watching people slide around on (hopefully) frozen ground.
