I am not a big sports fan. I
will go to a game and cheer but I don't have very much patience
for the rules or stats or plays. I love the Olympics but I
don't have it in me to follow those athletes throughout the
year on Saturday afternoon coverage of figure skating or swimming
competitions.… Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (9) | Blog
