Haiku Friday #65 Admittedly Olympic Obsessed

Make Time for Small Reflections

Playing 'catch-up' once
more this morning, watching last
night's events because

NBC insists
on delaying 'live' events
until their 'prime time'

making everything
so late I can't stay awake ...
so please don't tell me

what the women did
in the individual
all-around event

that I'm watching now.
Yesterday I 'collaged' pix
in my T-13

If you missed it and
are similarly obsessed
check it out today.

I have added a
widget with the Medal Count
although that is not

a big deal to me ...
I just thought it 'kewl' when I
saw it somewhere else

and decided to
see if I could make it work.
You'll find it below.

Photo collages added late afternoon after I'd caught up
and had a little time to play with Photoshop.

One more event I
didn't see last night was the
swim by Michael Phelps

for his 6th medal
15th race of 17
in these Beijing 'games' ...

How phenomenal
to observe the meeting of
genetics and such

dedication to
training ... a regimen that
simply boggles minds!

swimmers race for 'gold' as well

individual' event ...
