The Olympics on DirecTV-HD...

is Oh, so sweat! Javier and I just love watching the Olypmics and it's even better with HDTV.




DirecTV makes viewing even more facsinating with their interactive menu. You can go to channels 350-356 and you will see this prompt to push the red remote button. When you do so, this mini-menu pops up as shown above.


This is the menu that comes up when you select NBC Olympics Guide.


Here is the guide for the Medal Count selection. Pretty cool, I think.


Anyways...


I think we have some pretty amazing athletes representing USA. One of whom really Wows Javier and me is Michael Phelps. ESPN magazine calls him Aquaman. Boy is he! With 9 Gold Medals he is tied for having the most, EVER! He can easily break that tie this year and maybe even set the bar so unattainably high in future Olympics to come. Javier and I got to watch the Men's 100 X 4 M Freestyle Relay last night LIVE and it was probably the most excited either of us have ever been while watching the Olympics! I mean, talk about an upset! The French had their lips flapping the whole time leading up to the race, but it was team USA who won gold! Who needs words at a time like that?! Enough said... except...


GO USA!!!
