Geeky Girl is glued to the Olympics right now. We caught her watching them up on Geeky Boy’s tv which gets two channels (not clearly). So we agreed to record some of them for her. When they came on and did the preview of what was going to be on, Geeky Girl shouted, “Hey, Mom, it’s all girls!” Kind of breaks your heart.

Mr. Geeky and I were lamenting that we hadn’t really gotten into the Olympics. We both have fond memories of the 1976 Olympics, how we all watched them as a family and cheered on our favorites. There is something heartening about cheering for someone to achieve their dreams.
