Fever all through the night

February 16, 2010emily No Comments »

Friday night as we were getting dinner ready in the kitchen, I told John I wasn’t feeling well. When he asked what was wrong, I told him I thought I had a fever: Olympic fever. The only prescription, naturally, is the hours and hours and hours of Olympics coverage we’ve got on Tivo. Do most people watch the Olympics these days? When I was growing up, the Olympics were a huge deal at my family’s house and we watched every minute we could. I remember sliding along the kitchen floor in my socks, pretending to be a figure skater. And I also remember that the Olympics were the only time we ever ate in front of the tv. These days, I have to say, Tivo has made it possible to enjoy much more of the sport and talent of the Olympics, as we’re now able to fast forward right through Bob Costas and his soft focus spotlight interviews. Obviously, this just means that I can watch even more Olympics. My family would be so proud. My Olympic fever is coming along nicely.
