What's your favorite show?

In the days of "Wipeout" and "I survived a Japanese Game Show" I long for good television. I am looking forward to Chuck and Pushing Daisies, but I have found new shows.

Burn Notice is a new favorite and Mrs. FL has gotten me into Eureka. They are both on USA.

I am, of course, excited about Project Runway. The contests have been very interesting this year. Dressing drag queens, using green fabrics and I am sure there are more ahead.

Speaking of which I gotta get out and run so I can catch Heidi Klum.

What's your favorite tv show?

Can someone explain this to me?

Tonight on the olympics for the first time BMX bike racing will be an olympic sport. Needless to say, I am not going to watch it. I am shocked that softball is getting kicked off the long list of sports and BMX is on. I mean why can't we get rid of handball and keep softball?

I really want the US Beach Volleyball ladies to win tonight. I know they are favored, but it would nice for them to keep their streak going. GO USA!

Well, the fun continues after the olympics. We just flew through Denver over the weekend and read all about the upcoming DNC there. It sounds like quite a green event - hey, they are shipping in 1,000 bicycles for the delegates to use during the week. I wonder how many will actually get used.

Enjoy the end of the olympics and get ready for the MLB playoff soon. How are the Red Sox doing by the way?

Michael Phelps

Okay, so I didn't really know much about this 20 something before Saturday, but now I want to watch every race he is in. The little 1 minute overview of his experience at the prior olympics and his relationship with his mom drew me in on NBC last night. He is 23 and just beat his own world record in the 400 IM by 2 seconds. How is that possible?

I am usually a fan of the gymnastics but this year I am more impressed with the swimmers.

Those opening ceremonies were also amazing! I am trying to find them on youtube because we missed some.

GO TEAM USA!
