Opening Ceremony

Election Day 2024 is in 99 days and weird is how the Vice President Kamala Harris Campaign is describing Donald Trump and his running mate. Yep.

The French certainly know how to put on a show. Commentary is talking about Day 1 if the Olympics.

Commentary watched the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics on Friday, twice. I watched it in real time Friday afternoon, and then the primetime replay Friday evening. It was the best Olympics Opening Ceremony I have ever watched.

The featured photo from the coverage was a nod so to speak to Marie Antoinette.

A flying Olympic cauldron was a nice touch.

I loved the energy of the dancers who performed throughout the evening in the rain.

Lady Gaga was great.

I was waiting for the unmasking of the mysterious masked torchbearer.

The best line of the televised ceremony has to go to Opening Ceremony Co-Host Kelly Clarkson at the conclusion of the dancers who went ménage à trois from a library to an apartment, closing the door to viewers, prompting Clarkson to say “we’re not invited.” Classic line.

What can you say about the spectacular Celine Dion. Last month, I watched Hoda Kotb interview Celine Dion. I thought back then it was going to be a long road back for Dion. What a comeback. What a way to cap the Opening Ceremony evening. Superb! Bravo! You go, girl!

We took two out of three from the Dodgers this past weekend and are tied for first in the AL West. The Pirates are now in for three.
