1. Definitely the swimming star of the Olympics...

At least for the women...Michael got 4 gold also...I don't think he got any WR's, but two times he 3-peated.

4. I have to say that I really have no desire to see a movie in a theater right now...

I can intellectualize it all day, knowing how infinitely small the risk.... but I know I'd be distracted the entire time, so what's the point?

Apparently (and fortunately for theater owners) that has not been the case for a lot of others, but I will likely watch movies at home for quite a while to come.
