Yup. Definitely winter.

So I realize I've been MIA. Apologies to all if I haven't returned any phone calls or emails. For some reason I've been this weird combination of really busy and really anti-social as of late. In any case I'm working on catching up on the FList and emails etc.

That said, I've come out of lurking because it is that time again, just in time for the "biggest snow storm to hit the DC area in 3 years (in other words, 3 inches): The Winter Olympics. Now, I'll be the first to admit that I'm not too excited about the Winter Olympics as I am about the Summer Games. I'm sure it has something to do with the Olympic Gods of Swimming. But, the Olympics are always fun to watch, if only to see the absurdity that comes with doping scandals, judging stupidity and NBC's *fantastic* coverage. If the Opening Ceremonies are a sign of things to come, it's gonna be another doozy of a Games ala Al "Funnel of Drama" Trautwig. Way to be a mood killer, Brian Williams. And as long as we don't have any more of that "American beats Kwan" shit from four years ago, I'll tune in, I guess.

Plus I'll have Jeremy Bloom, Chad Hedrick, and Apolo Ohno to help me through it. Le sigh.

My question to you is, do y'all want another recap at the end of February like I did for the Summer Games? Just let me know.

Meanwhile, I'm curious as to what you thought of the Opening Ceremonies. Funky weren't they?
