I know I haven't posted in a while, but I've been having a ball watching the Olympics. Curling is great strategy. Not athletic, but I'm having a blast thinking about the different shot possibilities. Funny to have Vernon Davis as the honorary captain of the USA team and talk about having to endure ribbing from NFL guys about it. The USA men's hockey team has been great to watch. Beating Canada, then against the Swiss, missing getting a goal by about .2 seconds when time ran out at the end of 2 and finally beating them with 2 in the third. The US and Canadian women's hockey teams are completely destroying everyone, each outscoring their opponents by combined scores of around 42-2. The ice dancing was beautiful. What a great story with the Canadian couple and American couple that train together getting gold and silver and the two skaters who just lost their moms being able to put together great performances in their grief bringing honor to their parents who no doubt sacrificed a ton to get them there. The flips and twists of the freestyle ski aerials and snowboarding are just crazy. 90 mph face first on the skeleton is insane. Bode Miller, Vonn, and the rest of the alpine skiers are doing well and carrying themselves well.
They aren't my standard sports, but they are a great change of pace and I love cheering for my country. God bless America.
