5. Yes, lots of gold.
We are watching on the big screen TV, jumping up and down and yelling.

Tonight is good.

9. And the Silver was a 1-2 USA finish, right?
Finally aired hear in the "disadvantaged" timezone.

Two more opportunities for Phelps: Friday amd Saturday. Can't believe that they won't bring us a live airing on Sat as it will be 11pm ET, 8pm Pacific. Wouldn't that be prime time on the left coast?

Oh well, it's still the best time zone for football. Games start at 9am and run all day long until 11pm. This Olympics fiasco only comes around every four years.

They always have the screwiest scheduling for the Olympics.

I have a big poker tourney that may not be over until ten. Of course, the way I play, I could be done by 4:05. :)

7. That was a phenomenal finish for her!
I was jumping up and down for her.

He's is a machine. I loved the run down of all of Phelps physical characteristics. And you could really see the double jointedness of his knees in that slow-mo butterfly. He's just WOW! :wow:

8. US is having an incredible night...
I'm praying that we are able to get a medal or maybe two out of the women's all-around tonight.
