It&#8217;s just that I&#8217;ve been really busy doing research and getting ready for a speaking engagement I have at next month&#8217;s Financial Blogger Conference.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s right; I&#8217;m taking this speaking gig seriously folks. After all, you didn&#8217;t really expect me to get dressed up, travel all the way to Denver, and then make a complete ass of myself in front of <del>millions<\/del> <del>thousands<\/del> <del>hundreds<\/del> scores of people, did you? Especially when it&#8217;s much easier to do that here on a daily basis from the comfort of my own home. But I digress.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Strange Games<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Personally, I don&#8217;t think the Summer Olympics are as interesting as the winter ones. As long as the Winter Olympics have ski jumping, curling and the biathlon &#8212; an odd combination of cross-country skiing and rifle shooting &#8212; the Summer Games will always pale in comparison.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t always that way. Believe it or not, the Summer Olympics used to have some really <a href=\"http:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2012\/07\/24\/sport\/olympic-strangest-events\/index.html\">odd competitions<\/a> too, including tug-of-war, poodle clipping, delivery van driving, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.11points.com\/Sports\/11_Strangest_Former_Olympic_Sports\">firefighting<\/a>, and club swinging. I&#8217;m not kidding.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s something else that appears a bit odd on its face: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/sports\/olympics\/at-london-olympics-empty-seats-have-organizers-scrambling-giving-away-tickets-to-children-and-soldiers\/2012\/07\/29\/gJQA6YVBJX_story.html\">row after row of empty seats<\/a> at numerous events being held as part of the 2012 London Olympics. Even <em>I<\/em> know about this because the media has been absolutely relentless in its coverage of this story.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no doubt all those empty seats are a tremendous embarrassment to the organizers of the 2012 London Olympics &#8212; especially since most of the seats are in the choicest locations. Even worse, the majority of those empty seats are in areas reserved for &#8220;Olympic family&#8221; groups that include officials, national sports federations, sponsors, athletes, and journalists.<\/p>\n<p>And from what I can tell, the great majority of those tickets are given away as the group members see fit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Value Is in the Eye of the Beholder<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A couple months ago I wrote how I paid $2462.35 for two tickets to Game 4 of the 2012 Stanley Cup Finals. Needless to say, that was, by far, <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id12985-i-just-made-the-biggest-impulse-purchase-of-my-life-but-its-ok.html\">the biggest impulse purchase of my entire life<\/a> &#8212; so there was <em>nothing<\/em> that was going to keep <em>me<\/em> from being at that game.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, I was so determined <em>not<\/em> to miss the game I made sure the Honeybee and I were at the Staples Center almost four hours before they dropped the puck &#8212; just in case we had car trouble along the way.<\/p>\n<p>As for medical emergencies, the only thing that could have kept me from going to that game was an acute myocardial infarction.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, or maybe a severe stroke. Anything else, however, would have been considered just a minor inconvenience.<\/p>\n<p>You can bet the reason why there have been so many empty seats up to now at the 2012 London Olympics is because most of those absent ticket holders weren&#8217;t personally invested like I was with my Stanley Cup tickets; they simply didn&#8217;t have any skin in the game.<\/p>\n<p>I see the same indifference in my kids when they walk out of their bedrooms without turning the lights off; they aren&#8217;t paying for the electricity, so why should they care?<\/p>\n<p>I also see it at fast food restaurants where I often catch myself grabbing many more napkins and\/or ketchup packets than I really need.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is that it&#8217;s hard to truly appreciate products, services, and commodities when they&#8217;re given to you for free; that&#8217;s human nature.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s also why I can guarantee you that those half-barren Olympic stadiums would be boasting standing room only crowds if every ticket holder had, at the very least, paid face value for their seats.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: smaller;\">Photo Credit: 8th Day<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Am I the only person in America with a working television that hasn&#8217;t watched a single minute of the Olympics on the boob tube?
