Shoes, Ships, and Sealing Wax

I now return to February, already in progress

My bad luck charm ways continued...I'm sorry, Finland.

I'm kinda bummed that the Olympics are over (well, I understand there's still a Fellini-inspired closing ceremony) although I admit I pretty much immersed myself in hockey (with a few dashes of curling) and caught little of the primetime NBC stuff. I understand a lot of people weren't impressed. I thought they did a good job with the hockey, though, and I particularly liked the commercial-free broadcasts of the USA and gold medal games. (Don't the games fly without all the tv timeouts?)

Maybe I'll start saving now so that I can actually go to Vancouver in 2010.

I say that every four years.
