Just watched the Olympic's opening program form Sochi. I was moved by the pageantry of it all and several times got tears in my eyes. 
 
 It is hard to believe that Russia is not the enemy, certainly in most of my life we were fighting the Russians.  It was moving to see all the independent nations come out to compete in the games, nations that once had been a part of the Soviet Union, the evil empire. 
 
 It is so hard to shake out my old perceptions.  The show was spectacular.  I got to see it on demand with no commercials.
