It poured and poured rain until 5 p.m.;was cold, with winds from the east. After some discussion and disagreement (I was for riding) we decided to stay put today. It was fairly boring but at least the Olympics were on television. Called my parents and Kelly and Pete were there also. Found Mom is having surgery Tuesday.

WE WATCHED THE WOMEN'S COMPULSORY GYMNASTIC COMPETITION ALL DAY. MUCH OF THE COVERAGE WAS OF THE FREE EXERCISE WHICH REQUIRED EACH GYMNAST TO PERFORM THE SAME ROUTINE TO THE SAME MUSIC. THE MUSIC WAS PLAYED OVER AND OVER AND OVER ALL DAY.I KNOW HOW BILL MURRAY FELT IN "GROUNDHOG DAY".
