Finally, I've gotten around to posting my overview of the Rio Olympics which were AMAZING!!!! My family is big into the Olympics and for two weeks our television was on channel 10 and was pretty much running most of the day. Normally in the morning they would go back and forth with the lesser known sports and the smaller heats, but as soon 7 or 8 o' clock rolled around, the family was gathered in the living room until midnight watching swimming, gymnastics, outdoor volleyball and track and field.
