Olympics

Lucky or unlucky as it may be, we have all taken a turn being sick since Friday. The lucky is that we got to see part of the opening ceremonies for the Olympics. The Fou drums were incredible! Really a show. I became acutely patriotic when I saw the US athletes enter the stadium. 600 some athletes compared to the couple dozen from Norway. And of course, when the US played soccer and I heard the anthem it struck again. What is it about sports and flags and anthems that makes us so patriotic?
