I experienced something new this weekend - I was in the Opal Ultra Lounge in the MontBleu in Lake Tahoe. Every TV in the casino and club was tuned into the Olympics, which people had been idly watching while waiting for drinks to be made. Then the men's 400m medley relay came on. Suddenly, the crowd quieted. Bartenders stopped making drinks. People stopped talking. Dancers stopped moving on the dance floor. We all just stopped and watched, many holding their breath while others softly chanted "U S A. U S A." Everyone was totally riveted until the race completed, America taking another gold - Michael Phelps receiving his 8th. It was surreal.
I'm not a huge sports fan, but I do love watching the Olympics. These sports are just not normally aired, and this is my first time watching them in HD - an awesome experience (I do love my TiVo!).
