view from the setee



writing about sports has not only helped me out financially in the years gone by but it has also given me such tremendous joy since my childhood.  i could never be an athlete in terms of physique, drive or talent. nonetheless, i simply enjoy watching sports, live from the venues or merely on television, even on delayed telecast.

living in the city where the Olympics is currently held is great, the atmosphere is intoxicating, in addition to being able to relate with the nuances of the opening ceremonies. it was a mishmash of everything British. a few portions could have been deleted, to fast forward to the parade of participating countries and athletes which took forever. it will be all over by week's end but it has been a fabulous fortnight.
