Suspense: My mom called me this morning to rave about what she saw on the Olympics last night, what with U.S. Gymnast Paul Hamm dropping to 12th place then regaining 1st place for the Gold. I read about the story online yesterday, but I enjoyed listening to her excitedly recall Hamm's disappointing fall only to come back with perfect scores to win.

"It's exciting because you don't know what's going to happen!" she said. "It's so suspenseful!"

In case you couldn't tell, my mom is still not connected to the Internet. And I guess there are still some benefits to being behind the times.
