ok Gregg, fair enough. But I do want to hear your input when you have thought about it awhile. Alan's too, although I can pretty much guess his take on this, but maybe I'm wrong, and should apologize for assuming.

As for the Olympics, I'm sorry, I really don't like them. i don't normally watch sports anyway so I don't get all worked up for this sport event. Sure, the Olympics used to be a THING. A very special competition among countries. But, international competition happens every day in this modern age, so forgive me if i don't find the Olympics special. I just find them annoying really as it's all over the TV and papers and I can't really escape them.
And tell me this! Why isn't golf one of the sports? I mean, here is an exceedingly popular summer sport, one that takes great skill and is fairly objective in judging. Why isn't it one of the sports of the Olympics? They have beach volleyball for heavens sakes! And synchronized swimming!
