Weirdness.

Why is Yoko Ono part of the Olympic opening ceremonies?

And why have Peter Gabriel sing "Imagine" an octave low?

The acrobats-turned-dove were pretty cool, though. (As was the thing where all the people made a ski jumper earlier on.)

I'm not much for corny ceremonies, so I didn't watch it, instead watching the rest of the Four Continents (figure skating) championship recorded on Super Bowl night. The next day, I heard a clip of Pavarotti, and was sorry I'd missed that. He sounded surprisingly good, considering his ill health.

We have tickets to the closing ceremony included in our package, and Andrew wants to go, even though our plane to Rome leaves before dawn. I think we are going to have to, so one of us doesn't get an attack of the once in a lifetime regrets afterwards.
