Ski Jumping is always fun to watch, I must admit I have grown to appreciate the "frantic" ice scraping in curling.

My favorite event is the closing ceremony because that would mean that the Winters Olympics are over !!

The Olympics were awesome during the Cold War when there was a higher significance to beating the snot out of a Red or Communist Country. Now, who cares? It is just another complete waste of money and bad monopoly of TV time.

Finally, I'll be happy when the games are over so that the Weather Channel can stop telling me for hours how difficult it is to forecast in Vancouver, and start getting back to what they do best, showing stupid commercials.

I have been entranced watching curling the past few Olympics.

I still have happy memories of watching the US Hockey team win those incredible victories in 1980.

What an exciting curling final for the women! Sweden defended the gold medal by beating Canada. The Canadian men play Norway on Saturday.

Meantime, Canada is leading Slovakia in hockey. Looks like a good gold medal game on Sunday, eh?

Bobsled, Skeleton and Luge. If it's 130km/h+, I like it! :D

To all my APC Canadian friends,

I have a feeling that the US will beat the puck and sticks out of you in tomorrow's gold medal game. If I am wrong, every Canuck (in good standing on APC, that is) who comes into my coffee shop and say "eh" will get a free 12 oz hazelnut latte. :)
