GIP and Olympic Ceremonies

[amedia]

I don't think anyone will be surprised that I finally made my first Bollywood icon . . . I'm sure it won't be the last.

I found myself typing this morning in an email to a friend that my favorite part of the opening ceremonies of the Olympics was the nightmare sequence, which paid tribute simultaneously to British children's literature and the National Health Service, to the tune of the theme from the Exorcist. Then I stopped, reread it and felt compelled to add in parentheses, "I'm not kidding." ;-D

I was laughing though the entire filmed piece with the Queen. For an 86 year-old-reigning monarch to be *able* to do this is astonishing, for her to be *willing* was delightful! When I look at her I see all the other guardians of history who she has known and worked with and it humbles me to think of all the history she carries within her memories.

Wasn't that amazing! I loved the moment when the Winston Churchill statue waved at her.
