    Sad news was on our evening news that a 21 year old boy died while practicing at the Olympics a few hours ago.

    I'll be watching, too. Love the opening ceremonies!

    Yes, I did see that news story about the luge incident when I booted up the laptop this afternoon. How sad for his team and family. I hope that is the only tragedy this year.

    I will be watching the Olympics. I have a needlepoint that I work on during TV time with my husband every evening. I am looking forward to see the opening ceremonies. I don't think any country will ever be able to out-do what China did.
    I heard about the young man. Such a tragedy. My heart goes out to his family.
