Hockey, WOW.

"There is no greatness without a passion to be great..." — Anthony Robbins

I woke in the middle of the night to the sound of strong winds outside, and my heart nearly stopped. I imagine it'll take me awhile to believe that my electricity is on to stay (until the next storm!).

Watched the Olympic men's hockey gold medal game between Canada and USA. HOLY COW! I watch a lot of hockey, but this was the best game I've ever seen. Both teams were amazing, both deserved the medal, but Canada won. While I really wanted USA to get the gold, it's probably best that Canada did -- the Canadians had made it pretty clear that the men's hockey had best get gold or they were going to be in the doghouse in a huge way. Of all the medals Canada won, the hockey medal was the one that counted.

Even so, I sure wish it had been ANYONE but Crosby who scored the winning goal. *sigh*

Our guys looked so sad when they got the silver medals presented to them. I read on one post on Facebook that said it looked like they were being bad sports because they didn't smile. I responded that they weren't bad sports, just completed deflated. If the medal ceremony had been held a few hours later and not 5 minutes after the game, they would have been perkier.

Regardless, it was a fabulous way to end the Olympics. And, did you see? USA won 37 total medals -- WOW!! GO USA!!!

What was your favorite moment in the Olympics?

You are a very talented and special person. You seem to succeed at every project you undertake.



Um... maybe 75% right?

Internet Explorer Hates Me (ETA: Not Anymore!)

Many of you using Internet Explorer can't see the site today. I have no idea why.

Try Firefox. It works.

Bad IE.


ETA: Looks like IE got itself figured out!!! Yay!

Since half of you can't see this anyway, I'll just post a funny commercial:



And try again tomorrow.
