I think my favorite part was the young man flying on the wire to light the flame. That was certainly an original interpretation of that event. I had to laugh at John Edwards; for some reason politicians don't wander, right? lol. I personally think he is an idiot.Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14450995984017232831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-68785196359789081682008-08-10T12:48:00.000-04:002008-08-10T12:48:00.000-04:00I too was amazed by the Opening Ceremonies.

Perfect...we cruised through the commercials paused when it was dessert time...yummy grilled peaches, home made pound cake and chocolate mouse for all the chocolate lovers....great event all around!Sewbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06600104414831404802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-78334823761911360002008-08-10T10:47:00.000-04:002008-08-10T10:47:00.000-04:00I didn't watch the opening ceremonies; as much as ...I didn't watch the opening ceremonies; as much as I enjoy the Olympics, I just don't have the patience for the pageantry and procession.

I loved all the history that was able to be passed on. The opening drum performance was amazing! I'm afraid I put down my sewing and just watched, and I don't often do that!Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858446371419879296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-39142206196427235912008-08-09T22:29:00.000-04:002008-08-09T22:29:00.000-04:00I was amazed at every turn!

China's rich history was palpable--I'm not sure we can ever host the Olympics again after seeing the gorgeous reminders of China's auspicious historic achievements. Oh, and about 3/4 of the way through the whole thing, I realized I didn't have the TV tuned to a high def channel.

The image of Yao Ming and Lin Hao is beautiful and moving. Glad you managed to get some binding done whilst watching. I am looking forward to watching the games, and like you will most likely be glued to my television until its all over.The Naturalist's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454723409700124944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-10696847149454920482008-08-09T15:35:00.000-04:002008-08-09T15:35:00.000-04:00I watched the show from start to finish and enjoye...I watched the show from start to finish and enjoyed every minute of it.

It was wonderful! I loved the lighting of the Olympic flame but worried about that man suspended so high above the crowd! Just incredible.<BR/><BR/>And yes, my thoughts keep coming back to John Edwards. What was he thinking??? I'm so disappointed in him and feel so much sorrow for Elizabeth Edwards and their children. Trust is a horrible thing to lose.Ancestor Collectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127282622653034183noreply@blogger.com
