Olympics of course

Oh, I almost forgot to do my Olympics update. Hey, I know most people could get better info than on my little blog. But I figure months from now, I'll get to explore my Olympics comments and relive how fun it all was. Two years is a long time to go through Olympics withdrawal.

Today the USA snowboards showed again that it should be the national winter sport!
Seth Wescott won the gold in Men's Snowboard Cross. Snowboard Cross is a bit like dirtbike racing. Four racers go around the course jockeying for position. It can get a bit rough. Falls are pretty common. A lot of fun to watch! I missed seeing the competition tonight because I was at class, but I saw it in the last X-games. Someday, I will learn to snowboard.
Here is GREAT link showing some of the pictures of the competition. It gives you a good idea of what happens in the race.

Snowboarding Slideshow

And just and FYI..my baby is feeling a lot better today. Soccer practice began today for the girls so I am grateful we were all able to attend ok.

My husband and 3 friends are coming to Phoniex at the end of the month. They've rented a condo on one of your many golf courses for the week.( story to this, I'll share it on a later post.) I can't tell you which one, cause there's people looking for him for letting out man secrets.
I do like music on my Eeyore days. I listen to" The First Cut is the Deepest" at least 15 times in a row. It's a great sighing song. I prefer to go with my Eeyore days, as fighting them usually gets me into trouble.

Your husband and his friends should enjoy themselves thoroughly. Great weather is just about a certainty as we haven't had any rain for the past 121 days or so.
I will have to a medal totals today. I've only been posting USA updates the past couple of days. Canada had a great day yesterday, especially in the speed skating! And Canada winning is the next best thing to USA winning. ;-)
