While there are problems with the NBC Olympic coverage, and it does not seem fair to need a Comcast account to watch some of the online content, I have to admit, I love having the Olympics On Demand. I am not worried about “spoilers”, so I don’t care that it takes a couple of days for events to make it to On Demand. But I am not up until midnight every night. Olympics On Demand lets me go and watch events that were broadcast while I was sleeping- without commercials and without cutting away to another sport in the middle.

I like medical miracles. They remind us that there are depths to the human brain and body that we still don’t understand. I love this story about a former Paralympian who has regained the use of her legs and is now on a pro-cycling team.
On the other hand, I hate medical miracles, because they make too many people think they’ll be the miracle when miracles just do not happen all that often.
I actually think the best part of this story is that Monique was making the best of her life with a disability, not waiting for a miracle.
