It’s Saturday evening, about 10:30 here on the East Coast, and I’m watching diving on the Olympics as I check the news and do a little blogging. I expected a lot more in the news on Biden being chosen as Obama’s VP, my hubby said that the infamous text message letting the “World” know that Obama had chosen Biden didn’t get out until about 3 am., quite a while after it hit the media, and those of us who were watching our alerts got it on our sites and blogs.

I did see an article in Washington Post that has a nice bio on Biden, and mentions Obama officially introducing him in Illinios yesterday, which should actually be today…but no matter, it’s a good article, and timing doesn’t seem to be everything if everyone knew about Obama’s choice before the magic text message was sent. But if you’re fussy about timing, read the article on Sunday, then the event WILL have been yesterday:-).

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, we have a lot to look forward to, the Democratic Convention, John McCain’s VP choice, the Republican Convention, Debates, things are finally getting interesting again.

I just finished watching the absolute BEST Olympics opening show ever, how wonderful, colorful, awesome, beautiful, magnificent!  I can’t think of enough words to describe it.  The whole opening ceremony was a work of art from start to finish…even seeing the teams march in, all smiles in spite of the 90 degree heat, was a joy to watch.  Then the torch lighting, oh my, I’ve never seen anything like it, and I’m a loyal follower of the Olympics.

So after all the sometimes-negative media press, the people of China have shown us their best.  I pray that our President will have a productive visit with the leaders of the Nation, and look forward to watching the events over the coming weeks.

Let the games begin!
