So, the Olympics have started (I guess). When I was a kid, these things seemed huge to me; I can remember everybody watching every event intently, and keeping a close eye on the medal count. It was very important to beat that nasty old CCCP bunch.

Now, eh. Whatever. Of course, back in my day, the Olympics were on 33% of all the TV stations we got. OK, well, 25% if you counted PBS, and maybe 20% if it was a clear day and we were getting the Kingston Ontario station (where we’d watch Curling, which is kind of a Zen sport that most of us in the US don’t quite get). These days, I almost never watch live television; between my two ReplayTV’s (and now the ReplayRadio), I have more hours of mindless entertainment than I know what to do with. But at least I don’t have to watch commercials.

So, will we have the Marc Maron Show to listen to on Monday? I’m kind of thinking we won’t. If anybody out there in SF caught or will be catching him this weekend, don’t forget to give us a full report!
