    The 2006 winter Olympics.

    A few more weeks!!!

    I am so frigging excited!!

    ----------------------------------


    A few weeks ago I noticed a bus kiosk plastered with a poster with the lettering "Apolo" on the top and a pic of some guy.....It was Apolo Ono, the shorttrack speed skater!

    A few days later I saw "Bode" - Bode Miller the downhill skier!

    So far those are the only two adverts I have seen for the games.

    I love the Skeleton, luge and Bobsleds. Short and long track speedskating, hockey and ski jumping! Super G and all the other skiing events.....
    The biathalon ROCKS but we don't get to see enough of that..I even enjoy CURLING!!!

    I hope that we get even coverage of all sports.

    ------------------------

    And I want to toss out a special "thanks for the memories" for
    Eddie the Eagle! The Brit bricklayer who made me laugh, the Jamaican Bob Team who make me scream, Cathy Turner who made me tough and the 1980 Hockey Team....they made me proud.

    -------------------

    Two and a half weeks?

    I can hardly wait!!!

    We'll get some (most likely all of Canada's games at least) of the coverage of Curling up here but then again that's because curling is like some kind of weird cultural thing in Canada, and yes if I had to I could sort of explain the basics of the sport..I'm looking forward to the hockey (both men and women) and the figure skating.
    Goonies never say die!



    Thanks Amy for the great sig!

    LOL, It's darts with rocks.

    And If I could find a woman who could sweep a floor that fast, I'd marry her in a heartbeat.

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    ack - I love short-track. It is the most insane sport imaginable. I remember first catching it at some wierd hour on espn-8 or something like that. I was hooked.

    Richard - forget the BBQ - I think I'll jump on a plane right now and come down and join you in watching the games. We seem to like alot of the same events.

    I guess I've seen enough of the mainstream stuff over the years - I love the smaller sports that have been relegated to the cable markets.

    These are not the droids you were looking for
