What a great weekend. Four day weekend, can't argue with that. The weather was sunny and 75-still is, in fact. And, oh those Olympics were so very rewarding. So many of the stories got the happy ending I was hoping for! Shen and Zhang won a gold after 18 years of skating together and being so adorable on the ice that I'm pretty sure spectators and judges alike wanted them to win even if he threw her into the stands and they singled every triple jump. Alex Bilodeau winning the moguls for Frederic and Canada, breaking the "home soil gold medal drought." Wescott double golding in the snowboard cross - way to stay on your feet and come from behind.
I am most impressed by the graciousness of all those who didn't win gold. It was so nice to see the good sportsmanship of the likes of Apolo Ohno and Bode Miller, who seemed truly content with having done their best even if they came in second or third.
Oh yeah and on a more local level, shout out to my husband for a gorge bouquet of flowers and to my 6 year old son for taking a literal pounding from some 8-9 year olds in flag football and still playing really well the whole game. If I didn't think football players were by and large a group of dirt bags and therefore secretly hope my son doesn't want to continue playing, I would say he could be a pretty decent receiver...that boy can snatch a ball out the air!
Seabass on offense? yay!
