Like a lot of the world this week, I’ve been pretty hooked on watching the Olympics this August. The fame, glory, survival and undying passion of the Olympians makes for compelling TV, at least for me. And the pace, buzz, and ongoing live commentary has an almost meditative effect on me. The emotions run high at the Olympics — the highs are exhilarating, the low, crushing, and watching it feels like being privy to the athletes inner world. Which just happens to be broadcasted around the world.
