I (heart) Apolo,

but the Koreans and now Canadians...not so much. He's races are soooo exciting, I can't sit down when I'm watching....I keep yelling "come on Apolo, don't fall down", while I'm jumping up and down. Kind of like when he was on Dancing with the Stars.
And US bobsledders, now everyone needs to keep an eye on them. But when they are in the suits check out Curt Tomasevicz (former Husker football player) more the pilot Steve Holcomb. Curt was made for those suits...Steve would look better in a sweatshirt.
Speaking of what Olympians are wearing the best dressed by a mile is the US snowboarders. Dude, they are totally rocking the jean snowpants. Why didn't they think of these sooner? And it does no harm in putting Seth Wescott in 'em. Yep. But seriously, does Shaun White know how to fly? Cause he's killed the halfpipe.
I have to give a "way to go" to the US men's and women's curling teams since they finally won some matches. It took awhile and a shake up on the men's side, but a win's a win, eh?
Late addition:
Bode, Bode, Bode...you are a rock star. Or as Austrian Bennie Raich said "I never know what to make of Bode Miller, because he's crazy." Crazy good, that's what. Three races and three medals, this last one a gold. Now he can wear them with any outfit.

Happy Mardi Gras

I know you've probably been asking, where have you been? The Olympics have been going on for, like, days. I'll tell you where I've been, watching, that what. Ok, here are my thoughts thus far:
How awesome is short track speed skating? totally, that's what. It's just as much of a workout to watch a race as it is to participate. I couldn't stay seated during the finals of the 1500 where Apolo (he can dance) got silver & JR (he's twelveteen) was bronze.
Bode's back!!! Where'd he go? I think he went and grew up, he's only 32!!
The Czech Republic speed skater won the gold in the 3000 meters, but what's so surprising is that Martina Sablikova is 5' 7", 117 lb (ding)....that's almost malnourishment.
Speaking of how people look or dress....the curlers of Norway need to .... uhm....I'm at a loss....insert you're own comment here.
I personally like the Canadian mittens. It takes me back to the days when Mom would put snowman, or Ernie and Bert on the back of ours, so we knew which glove went on each hand. I wonder how many of the Canadians had the string that runs though the coat connecting the two mittens?
