While the Opening and Closing Ceremonies are always beautiful and grand, they can be very boring. I let Sydney off the hook for watching them, and sent her to bed. I chose to punish myself by forcing a painful 1,000-year Russian history lesson on myself. Again, a lot of it was beautiful, and the pageantry was amazing. But my goodness, it was so long.
I don't do long shows with only musical accompaniments, and interpretive dance, and soft lighting. They make me sleepy. I did pretty well, and only shut my eyes for about 15 minutes, but it was enough to remind me that these ceremonies can make staying awake an Olympic sport ... that I fail at.
