Thank you.. I thought, perhaps, I was losing my mind.

And, while I'm thinking of gymnastics, did anyone else think that Shawn Johnson got a bum deal when it came to her score on the beam. With the exception of one little wobble, she performed what seemed to be a perfect routine, including a solid landing. Then she got a 9 in execution... WTF?

I'm really becoming annoyed with the scoring in these Olympics, and not with just points Americans are getting, but other nations too.

As for the Men's 4x100m relay... how freaking awesome was THAT??! I was screaming with joy, still cheering as it seemed the Americans might not pull it through, and then they did! Favorite moment, again, was the podium with Phelps. Even if I was inserting my own thoughts... it seemed as though he and the guy to his left were going to crack up when the anthem started playing. When they did only two intros and completed the song, there was a chuckle of relief...

... or so I say.
