Re: And this incredible part (none / 0)

Forgive my bad memory -- where were the 92 summer olympics? 92 was sort of a bad year for me, but wasn't that the year we got both summer and winter and then they split and winter was held again in 94?

Well, Spain, yeah... I knew that... really... I was just sort of wondering which, uh, city? area? I mean, it's not like I'm totally ignorant (cough)... lovely place, Spain.

Kcurie will not be crushed! If you'd said it was the best city, most beautiful city, most wonderful city in the world, then of course I would have known it was Barcelona! ;-)

Re: And this incredible part (none / 0)

I have no idea. Our tv guide just shows massive blocks of time that says "Olympics." I think there'll be a detailed guide in tomorrow's paper.

Right now on CBC, they're showing the biathalon. So far, the shooting hasn't been great. Our network coverage on NBC starts in an hour. I hope I don't have to watch all day to see the skating.
