It's almost time to watch the Opening Ceremonies! I have been purposely avoiding Internet spoilers of that so I can be surprised and amazed as if I were watching it real time. The weird part however is that we'll be able to watch events on NBC Olympics even before the ceremonies start, as it will be morning in Beijing (FYI, the sun comes up around 5:30 China Standard or 5:30 PM EDT or so this time of year there).

Nothing in the tropics of note to worry about which is a good thing. It's almost the height of the season though so we'd better watch out.

More on the Olympics next time...
