The Official Countdown...

has begun in the Shooter home.

I looked it up:

fa·nat·ic [fuh-nat-ik]
–noun 1. a person with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm or zeal

That certainly hits the nail on the head when it comes to describing us and the Olympics. Ask around. See what you come up with. We get called all kinds of things during the upcoming two week period.

Here are a few other synonyms that seem to fit the bill as well. There's a wee possibility they may be even more fitting than the first definition.

—Synonyms 1. enthusiast, zealot, bigot, hothead, militant. Fanatic, zealot, militant, devotee refer to persons showing more than ordinary support for, adherence to, or interest in a cause, point of view, or activity. Fanatic and zealot both suggest excessive or overweening devotion to a cause or belief. Fanatic further implies unbalanced or obsessive behavior: a wild-eyed fanatic. Zealot, only slightly less unfavorable in implication than fanatic, implies single-minded partisanship: a tireless zealot for tax reform.

I just thought I better get it out there. Before the hoopla begins.
It's a sickness.
I'm serious.
I have to go now. Our little fam's going to have our initial meeting this morning to settle on our agenda. Schedules, menus, what events are highest priority to watch live, how late can the Crumbs stay up to watch, etc.

I told you it was a sickness.
