London 2012

I am sooooo happy that London received the Olympic bid. I love that city and am absolutely thrilled for the entire country. I have the utmost confidence that they will get all of the new rail lines done on time as well as everything else that will need to get done. If they could only guarantee the weather... no rain.

London was a surprise to me...I knew NYC or Moscow wouldn't win, but I thought Paris had a lock on it. I'm happy for London, though...I hope they're able to avoid the problems that plagued Salt Lake and Athens.

Meh.

Congrats, Londoners! Does this mean you'll start refrigerating your beer for our dulled tourist palates?

I don't think that there will be any way they can avoid a fortnight of crushing boredom. That's what the Olympics are all about.
