"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

My kids are salivating at it starting! 
Tomorrow also happens to be my daughter's birthday so we'll have to record the Opening Ceremonies so we can take her to the Denver Aquarium restaurant to celebrate. We're looking forward to the Taekwondo tournaments, the swimming, diving, archery, a little gymnastics and a little track and field. They'd be happy to sit and watch as much as possible, but that's not gonna happen.
I love the Olympics, it feels like we're a little more united in a common quest, and getting a little bit of exposure to different cultures.
It should be interesting to see how social media plays out in all this too. Anyone following any specific athletes or any of the official Olympics accounts?

They even have an official guide for blogging for participants! I wonder how big their staff is that will be monitoring all the athletes, staff's, and venue workers' accounts? :scared:
