I have to admit, I haven’t been watching much of the Olympics the past couple of days. I just haven’t been in the mood. Plus, there’s been great movies on Summer Under the Stars on TCM.
I did catch Michael Phelps get the last of his gold medals. What a way to end a career!! Our women did great in swimming too.
Unfortunately with the ups comes some downs. Some of our key teams are out. We still have some really good chance in track & field and other games on the court. Time will tell now. The games are winding down a bit though.
Here’s the medal standings…..
