Olympics Weekend

We went to our friend's house in Golden to watch the Olympics and play cards. Biajee helped them fix their computers again. I broke their vase just as Biajee started to eat to the BBQ round-eye steak. The vase was a pottery that easily broke on the carpet when it fell from less than one meter high.

Biajee witnessed the whole process but couldn't help or say anything. I had to apologize to the hostess and hope that it doesn't cost over $100. I think it is pretty cheap although it looks quite elegant.

We watched the swimming and gymnastics together. It's a pity to see the level of gymnastics fall a lot from where it was a few years ago. Maybe nobody could bear the hardship of training and pain any more. Swimming is always fun to watch. Michael Phelps has had 2 gold medals so far.

We also watched a lot of rowing during the day. The poor atheletes had to row in the cloudy weather with their coaches and assistant coaches paddling ashore keeping eye contacts with them. China's Quadruple rowing was a great success yesterday. They advanced as No. 1 in their team to semi-finals.

Biajee took Arnold to grocery shopping while I enjoyed all this. I don't like to move around these days, especially with a wounded foot. The doctor finally pulled the thread out and said everything was fine with me and I didn't need to see him again.
