"Yea, you ski fast. But you're reckless."
Remember the 1969 movie starring Robert Redford? Pretty thrilling stuff at the time. We've been watching a couple hours of prime time Olympics each night, which has been kind of hit-or-miss on network TV. The extreme snowboarding and skiing events get the most coverage, followed by figure skating, with just snippets of everything else. And endless commercials. Although last night they covered most of women's downhill race, no doubt because of Lindsay Vonn's star power.
Not to be catty, but when she took off her googles, I noticed she had gobs of eye makeup and those big false eyelashes. Really? But to her credit, she is the oldest competitor to win an Olympic alpine skiing medal. Young Norwegian Ragnhild Mowinckel (love that name) took silver, representing the up and coming generation.
It is 26 degrees in Seattle this morning. Unbelievably cold for late February, with more snow in the forecast. I hope it improves some by the weekend, as we have a big trip planned to Victoria, BC.
