Karen, a friend of mine who lives in North Carolina, and I seem to have started a tradition for ourselves. When the Winter Olympics were held in Vancouver in February 2010 we phoned one another and managed to talk our way through the entire Opening Ceremonies. We enjoyed it well enough to continue the tradition for the Opening Ceremonies of the London Summer Olympics. This is how it works, we both try to watch the same U.S. based broadcast so we're seeing the same imagines at the same time. I remember in 2010 my broadcast was about 5 seconds ahead of hers, which created some fun for me as I could announce the upcoming event to her. We can talk our way through the spectacular programs, the 200 or so different countries who march in the ceremonies, where certain countries are actually located in the world, what the athletes are wearing, why so and so was invited to be a part of the ceremony etc. This time we speculate...
Getting it together one stitch at a time.
