Olympic happiness
The ongoing television frenzy over the Olympics certainly makes it quicker than usual to scan the TV program looking for the odd item that might be worth watching—there are two full columns that I don’t even need to glance at. Cool.
To put this into perspective, the last Olympic Games I attended in person were in Melbourne in 1956. I was pretty young then, but happy to watch some of the best amateur athletes of the time do their stuff. In these days of rampant commercialism and the widespread use of performance-enhancing drugs, I have to say that I just find the whole thing a waste of time.
