The Olympics are here once again! I hope to see you Friday for the opening ceremonies. I'd like to set up a conference call with Leigh and Jake. If any of you know to go about that please let me know. I have prepared a fantasy game again to add a little more fun to watching the games. A rough table outlining the fives teams and countries is below. I've tried to make it as balanced as possible. I think it will be a tight contest. I plan to post updated medal counts on a regular basis throughout the games. We'll randomly assign the teams to each household on Friday, unless you'd like to know which team your house gets before then. Let me know. I'll talk to you soon.

I like that you didn't give anyone USA (we're all cheering for them anyway) and the matchups seem fair. We could try using Skype to do a video chat. I haven't used it yet, but I hear good things about it. Citius, Altius, Fortius!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I read this post. I totally forgot that you asked me to bring my laptop. I'll be sure to have it with me tomorrow night so we can set up the video chat. :)
ReplyDeleteI forgot that Jake will be working tonight, but Wyatt and I will be here to chat. What time?
ReplyDeleteThe ceremonies start at 6 p.m. PST. So, 7 here in SLC and 8? in St. Louis. I hope that isn't too late. I hope we can get the vid chat working. Have fun, everyone!
ReplyDeleteThat is fine with me :)
