The Olympics are officially underway, as seen in the photo below (taken from the ESPN Beijing 2008 website). For the next 17 days, my face will be glued to the tv, most likely focusing my attention on water sports (mainly swimming & diving) and women's gymnastics.

Tonight, though, we'll all be treated to the spectacle that is the Opening Ceremonies. If the past is any indicator, there will be A LOT of very weird costumes, dances I don't understand, and a light show like no other (see above). All in all, a very inspiring event!

It's the perfect opportunity to grab your knitting and settle in for a couple of weeks. I'm seeing red, white and blue in my next project...
