Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics. Swimming, Diving, Gymnastics, Beach Volleyball, Track. All of it excites me. The thrill, the emotion, the sacrifice, the honor, the spectacle. The lone representative athlete of a tiny poverty stricken country. The goosebumps I get when our National Anthem is played while one of our own stands proudly on the podium. (but why do they have to drape themselves in the American flag? It's so irreverent!)
We're joining friends for casual Opening Ceremonies soiree. Great company, entertainment, and asian-style food. I'm in charge of side dish and dessert. (Luckily we have a great Chinese restaurant in town). Want to host your own Olympics party? Choose your favorite event, invite your friends to view the telecast, and order a bevy of appetizers from your favorite Chinese restaurant. Don't forget the fortune cookies! During commercials, award "medals" for correct answers on an Olympic Trivia quiz. For an extra treat, send guests home with cupcakes or event-themed prizes in Chinese take-out boxes. Enjoy! And go team USA.
