The Olympic Summer Games have taken over my life. Although not a notable sports fan most of the time, I'd watch these games 24/7 if I could. A big challenge I'm facing is trying to avoid hearing results until I can watch for myself on delayed coverage. I haven't experienced this type of drama and seclusion from media since the first Survivor series finale aired on the east coast three hours prior to airing out here in the west.

Currently the USA has the most medals with a total of 19 (6 gold, 7 silver, 6 bronze), BUT China has 18 medals and more of them are gold (10 gold, 6 silver, 2 bronze). Now, I love the USA and am glad we are at the top of the medal count but I'd much rather see more gold medals in our tally. (Do I have Michael Phelps syndrome?) I will do something about this myself as soon as the Olympic Committee adds ice cream eating games.
