Last night, the Olympic games opened in Turin, Italy. I didn't watch the ceremonies, but just knowing that they were going on made me think about, and miss, my sister.

Sherry always made a big deal about the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. She'd watch them and tape them every time. She also loved the Kentucky Derby. And many times, I'd go to see her and she'd have a golf game on, or a basketball game, or a football game. I'd always ask her "Are you watching that?".

Sherry, I'd like to think that you were very "present" last night in Turin, and that you had the best seat in the house...
