| Our t.v. hasn't changed from the Olympics since Friday night! We are Olympics addicts!  And proud of it!!That men's swimming relay the other night literally had me and Kylor on the edge of our seats screaming. Kylor watches EVERYTHING! If NBC isn't airing anything at that time, he will scan every channel to find something! It's great. He is learning so much about different sports and countries. I can't go to sleep until midnight when the broadcast is over. Can't wait for track and field, too

| That's been pretty much where our TV's been set too. I came in earlier to find Emilie watching synchronized platform diving . . . she was really upset she couldn't find any "archery or something else" to watch.  We watched the Sweden/Canada women's soccer game and some beach volleyball earlier too. Emilie is really anxious for the "running and stuff".

| Yep, TOTALLY addicted!! The only time it goes off, is if we're out or the Red Sox are playing and even then we keep switching back & forth during commercials. I wish they could have them every year!

| That's pretty much all I watch too. Between the CBC and NBC there's only a few hours without coverage. I like watching the beach volleyball and the whitewater kayaking the most. (Yeah, I saw the guy from Togo! That was so cool!) And the swimming is pretty exciting too.

| We haven't watched anythign else either. Sunday Joe tried to watch golf (when he got home from playing golf)-- every time he turned it on, I kept humming the Olympic music really loud so he got the hint. Golf is on all year long, I don't know how he can think I'm going to miss the Olympics for the most boring sport in the world.

| These Olympics seem to really grab your attention. We're definitely watching every chance we get.
