Olympics

I can't wait to watch the opening ceremonies on Friday. Each Olympics seems to offer up something better each time - and after Sydney 2000's opening scene with the typical Auzzie rider galloping in and rearing in a spotlight, followed by about 100 other Auzzie riders, thundering into the stadium, really blew my hair back. Maybe it's because I'm a huge horse fan, or because the sight of galloping horses awakens some deep spiritual memory in all of us, I don't know. Anyway, Athens as the 'birthplace' of the ancient Olympics will no doubt capture some other corner of my imagination, which I assure you is huge and complex - well anyway, here's to Friday.
