2010 Winter Olympics

Well the Olympics wound up with an exciting overtime hockey game. Canada beat the US 3-2 in overtime. The win gave Canada the gold and was their 14th of the Games a new record surpassing the 13 won by the Soviets in 1976 and Norway in 2002.

The Silver medal for the United States gave them 37 total medals the most ever for a Winter Olympics.

Good Job Team USA

I Will Survive

On this day in 1980 Gloria Gaynor and I will survive won the first, and last, Grammy for disco.

The choice of "I Will Survive" as the winner that night was unassailable, even given the competition. Also nominated in the Best Disco Recording category were: Earth, Wind & Fire for "Boogie Wonderland;" Michael Jackson for "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough;" Rod Stewart for "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?"; and Donna Summer for "Bad Girls." If there was anything surprising about the award, it was that it was being given at all, considering the anti-disco backlash that was already well underway.

Oh yeah, the days of Disco. RIP baby

Bring on baseball

Looks like Cbus will close out February with the most snow ever in the month. Please stop snowing so we can break out the gloves!!

By the way I am getting a little tired of hearing O Canada. But they are having their best Olympics ever. As a matter of fact it will be hard for anyone to catch them in total gold medals.

Usually finishing number two means you are first loser but in this case I'll make an exception. It has been said about Kristi Leskinen that "She's a freestyler, loves to do it, sounds foreign but is actually American, and looks ridiculously hot in her underwear. Yep.

Gretchen Bleiler is 5'5" tall and competes in halfpipe. I'm not sure what that is but I'm going to watch if that is the official team uniform.

Descent on Silver Lake

A bold group of adventurers invaded Silver Lake and had a great time. Stepping away from Paragon City and City of Heroes we played Descent and had a fantastic time. Deano was the ultimate host and we ate like Kings. We also made a road trip to a game store, a comic book shop/game store, a model railroad store and a guitar shop. Thanks to Nautallica for running the game and being incredibly organized. Good Times, Good Friends, The Adventurers!

these are my honorable mentions, Julie Mancuso from the Slalom failed to make it because of the Boots. Just Kidding, I never saw the boots. Actually she is 10b and the reason I am doing this post.

Tanith Belbin is an ice dancer and didn't make it for a couple of reasons.1, she is too skinny. Ok just kidding on that one. She was born and raised in Canada and holds dual citizenship.

Looking like she should be a server at the Hofbräuhaus (I wish) rather than skating on the ice Alissa Czisny comes in at number 5 on the list.

Number eight comes to us courtesy of the Skeleton team. Katie Uhlaender may look like a super hero but I wonder what kinds of skeletons live in her closet. You have to love sports that dress in spandex.

Happy Presidents Day

Sure seems like when we went away from celebrating Washington and Lincoln's birthdays this day has lost some of its luster. Now it really only means something since a lot of us get a day off of work. Oh well. Thank you James Garfield, Martin Van Buren, Grover Cleveland and the rest of you for a day off!

I noticed during the Opening Ceremonies that Team USA has some really beautiful athletes this year. So I thought I would do a top ten list.

Number 10 on our list comes to us from women's snowboarding. All I can say is "Yeah Boy." Lindsey Jacobellis is one of America's best bets for gold. I can't wait to see her on the podium.

Valentine's Day

Love it or hate it it is here. So go do something nice for someone you care about. Or Not. Plus it is only 30 days until our holiday!

Miss Me Yet?

According to CBS news and NPR, the favorite radio news of liberals every where, this is a real bill board in Minnesota on Interstate 35. Paid for by an anonymous group of small business owners who feel Washington is against them. You have to admire their sense of humor and courage because I would imagine there will be retribution.

2010 Winter Olympics

Well the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver officially kicked off last night with a big Opening Ceremony. The opening of the Games were marred by trajedy with the death of 21-year old Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili who lost control of his sled at nearly 90 miles an hour during a training run earlier in the day. Kumaritashvili struck one of the un-padded concrete structural poles lining the course. Watch the report here. Just as a heads up it is not for the feint of heart.
