Last night, we stayed up late watching the closing ceremonies for the Olympics - we were really looking foward to the Who's performance at the very end. However, at midnight, even though the ceremonies were still on-going, we found ourselves watching a dumb sitcom instead of the Who!!!!!! Bell had cut off the final few moments of the ceremonies - quite possibly the BEST PART!!! to run the sitcom as usual. How stupid was that????
And, yet in a totally perverse switch-a-roo, earlier in the day, our friends, who have only a Bell Satellite dish, had to come over to our house to watch the NASCAR race with us, because the Olympics were on the channel they they usually watch the race on. Now, I'm NOT saying the NASCAR race was more important....but if Bell felt the Olympics were important enough to pre-empt a regular Sunday NASCAR race, surely the Olympics were important enough to pre-empt 10 minutes of a stupid midnite sitcom re-run!!!!!! idiots!
Still, the good part of that story, is that we all watched the race together and had a nice impromptu visit as well!
Rick and I been low-carbing it lately. I generally have one little ol' egg for breakfast which I do enjoy - so it was particularly depressing to read an acticle in the Citizen today that eating egg yolks can be as bad for you as smoking!!! really??? Maybe I should give up the egg and take up smoking again.
Here's a picture I took yesterday morning as we drove down a cottage road near Constant Lake - good thing we were going slowly... those cottage roads can be tricky!
Back to the Olympic closing ceremonies that also featured the Spice girls - Rick quite cleverly has re-named them simply Old Spice - no matter HOW much cosmetic surgery they've collectively had, they ain't girls any longer......
