The Olympics
So is anyone watching?
I was bummed when Apolo Ono fell last night...he was doing so well, he didn't need first place to advance...it's too bad...he's one of my favorites.
Great to see Shaun White win the gold though, he looks like a good kid.

I'm watching. I love the Winter Olympics.
I still have to figure out what the television schedule is. I want to watch live events, but have to find a schedule of times and channels.
Has our hockey team made it there yet? I heard nine of them were stranded due to the storm on the east coast.

Yeah it was a bummer seeing Apollo not even make it to the finals last night. The short track is an exciting event to watch. The Shaun White interview with Bob Costas was hilarious...how he's hoping the gold medal will help with "the babes" hehehe.

I got into the woman's snowboarding today while I was at the gym. I was stunned at the sport of it and a few of the ladies did not look that bad in the face either....
Good stuff... Good stuff... USA won silver and gold too

trying to get together with Cohen.
I love the olympics.
Although I feel so bad for those guys who finish in 4th by the smallest of margins, like in the mens nordiac combined, where the 4th place guy, after 9 mi, finished 1 inch from 3rd.

It's kind of cool to see people you haven't seen in four years on tv.
Did anyone see Sarah Hughes?

Looks like the US men's hockey team won't be making it to the finals this time as they could only manage a 3-3 tie with Latvia.

Been watching whenever I'm home -- love the Olympics. And it always moves me when super-cool gold medal athletes start to well up with tears on the medal stands.
