Day 5

Great article from today's Times...

Graffiti is beginning to appear on the table in the announce booth.

Presented without comment

Overheard tonight at the bar:

Two female NBC employees speaking of a third unidentified NBC employee: "She was like a female Matt Lauer."

Walt Putin World

I'm starting to really like this place. Right out front of the hotel are two giant roller coasters. And now looking out from my room toward the Black Sea, this is beginning to morph into a combination of Walt Disney World and a giant model railroad. But that's cool.

Some things never change, and that's good

No matter where you are, when the moon is out you're home.

The party's over

Tonight will be our last taste of freedom.  As the Opening Ceremonies approach, tomorrow begins the full twelve hours duty per day. For me that's 3 pm-3am.

Let's go already.  Our hotel has gradually filled with media people from all over.  Hung out at the bar with some BBC guys. My neighbors are some loudmouthed German broadcasters.  If that's not redundant.

All the athletes and NBC stars have been about lately, indicating showtime looms.

Going forward, each day checked off the calendar will mean even more.

Three weeks from today I will be home.  Hope the same goes for you.
