    Is anyone else just not feeling the Olympics this year?

    I’m not a sports person and don’t have a whole lot of national pride on a good day, but I’ve liked watching the Olympics since I was a kid.

    I enjoy seeing people from all over the world with such outstanding abilities, experiencing the aesthetics of people from different places, and rooting for the underdogs.

    This year, I’m just embarrassed of America. I hate seeing the rise of right wing ideology worldwide. I miss and worry about my former co-workers in Ukraine. There’s constant pain, suffering, and death in Palestine and the middle east.

    I don’t know…it should be a bit of an escape, but the whole thing is bumming me out this year.
