I love the winter Olympics. There isn't much I don't watch..I think the Ice Skating is my favorite and I really do enjoy the curling. I get a bit bored with some of the cross country stuff but I admire those who compete.
Also, on an Olympic note--if people are coming through Seattle on their way to Vancouver please let us know. I'd be more than happy to assist B-F travelers in anyway I can. AND we are expecting snow to start this weekend so let's hope for a very white and snowy Olympics!! |

Olympic Winter Games
I am so looking forward to watching the Winter Games. I thought they were being held in Singapore - am I wrong? I think it will be such wonderful time for the US Teams competing. I prefer the winter games over the summer games hands down.

I actually love watching those peeps with the broom sweeping away for that puck. Someday I'd like to try curling to see how challenging it really is. I think the biggest challenge for me at this age would be getting down to the knees for the puck release..!

I like the bobsled, the luge, downhill, giant slolem, and last but not least, I like ice skating....the couples only though...not so much the solos.
The solo skating is not near as much fun without the likes of Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan, and the good ol' days when clubbing a competitor with a stick started the festivities! I am soooooo just kidding...that woman was disturbed. I am not much in to hockey...I find it boring. Curling is "interesting" to say the least....it involves a broom, and I use one of those around my own house, so I don't find it spellbinding like the luge....I would love to got that fast on a sled, while laying down, in a body suit, wearing a helmet, and screaming the whole way!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

I was looking at the tickets---and schedules. I'd love to take in some of the events. And G you are correct about Harding-Kerrigan, although we still get a lot of news about Harding up here in the PNW--she lives in Oregon and still has her crazy days! GO USA |

Ya know? I know absolutely NOTHING about Ice Hockey except that Canada is good......and can probably whip (yes, I said 'whip') ANYone with one hockey stick tied (yes, I said 'tied', TOO!) behind their backs! <giggle> I just like the intensity. |

I love all the stories of all the athletes, from all of the countries, not just the USA....some of them bring a tear to my eye. Like that new Visa commercial with Dan Jansen. Have you seen it? OMG, the first time I saw it, I got choked up.
I also love the fact that these are people that compete their whole lives for something that might just be a one time thing. A chance to win a medal for their country...not a multi million dollar paycheck so they can buy the biggest house on the block and 9 cars, but for the chance to be a hero to their counrty. I am really looking forward to it all!

I love all of it. I love the ice skating less than I did in years past, when it was more about skating and less about jumping. The sport has gone seriously downhill since the days that I followed it voraciously. Still, it's okay.
I'm trying to clear out my Tivo so that I can watch as much as possible. If I tape and watch later, I can skip the commercials and the tear-jerker stories. Plus, since I'm working from home and have a TV in my office, I can watch all day. I remember the last winter olympics, when Mister and I watched curling every night in bed before going to sleep - it was pretty much the only sport on that late at night. We really enjoyed it. No, seriously, we really enjoyed it. It's going to be so different this time, since we are in the same time zone as the games. Though, I'm guessing that they'll shove all the times up to accommodate the east coast folks.
