Any regrets?
My only regret is that I was doing trade shows for the first part of them and missed many of the early medal presentations and that I now live on the East Coast and they end so late....

The USA finally getting their first medals in the Nordic events.....
Joannie Rochette skating to a bronze medal despite her mother dying of a heart attach as soon as she arrived in Vancouver....
Evan Lysacek winning the men's gold, after a 20+ year drought for the USA in men's figure skating....
Our young up-&-coming dance skaters winning a silver medal!!!....
The awesome "flying tomato" himself, Shaun White, winning another gold in the half-pipe....
The unfortunate luge incident during a training run....
Favorites falling, perennial "also ran" athletes stepping it up & winning a podium spot, the lack of snow at a winter olympics,
My only regret is that there did not seem to be as many daytime hours of coverage as usual....and I can't stay up for the late coverage and still function the next day!

As a marathon runner, the race to the finish today in the women's cross-country was scintillating. Of course the halfpipes and aerials plus the skeleton with the British women head first at such a high speed were all mind-boggling. The speed skaters reminded me of Roller Derby and its demolition process.
I have watched it all by using the good old DVR and taping everything after midnight while I slept. Then I could watch while doing internet reading and work in the mornings. So everyone get a DVR, you can zoom through the advertisements and some of the fill stuff next time.

He grew up in our neighborhood, went to the same elementary, middle and high school (Neuqua Valley) as my 2 kids. In fact because he is two years older than my daughter, we found him on our daughter's middle and high school year books! Our mayor will definitely award him with a key to the city.
We are also happy for his coach Frank Carroll to win the first olympic gold medal with his many star skaters. Frank was the coach for many famous skaters, including arguably the most decorated woman figure skater ever, Michelle Kwan.
Yes, my wife and I are big figure skating fan and we think every medal winner got what they deserved, including the champions of each event.

To this point, the US beating Canada in Hockey was a great highlight. Tomorrow may eclipse that. We will see.

1)now that I do not work for a very large company, I have not had to endure hearing about it.
2) More junk on tv means I have incentive to work longer hours
Now I WILL want to watch the olympics in 2012 if pole-dancing becomes an event. There is a petition going now. I am serious. Vote in the pole at this tv station wflx.com

Each wreck has a tale to tell about its life and its demise.
If you are observant while diving in dark places listen to the account each has to tell, You cannot come away unaffected.
