Olympics and Time Flies

Watching the Olympics opening ceremonies. Sort of like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, without floats. When I was a kid, and even into my 20’s, it seemed like a long time between Olympics. After 40, it seems like there’s an Olympics every year. That’s how much faster time seems to go by when you get older. Becky and I were discussing that phenomenon the other day. We agreed it must be because as kids, we packed our time with activities, whereas now we spend a lot of it just sitting around. But, that seems backward from the saying “time flies when you’re having fun”. I know I had a lot more fun as a kid. So, I don’t know why time is flying faster these days. Unless, maybe, it just really is. But, getting back to the Olympics, I wish I was listening more closely. The announcers were talking about the country with the only flag that has a front and back, different on each side. But I missed the name of the country. Darn! :confused2: If anybody knows, please share!

Oh, amazing — Bjork debuting her song Oceania! Afterwards, opening remarks by the IOC president in what we’re told are the three official languages of the Olympics: Greek, French and English. How about that?
