Winter olympics

Last night the Mrs. and I watched figure skating. It would not have been my first choice but I enjoyed it along with her.

An american couple was in first place for a good while. They skated beautifully. Their back story includes her being so sick a year or two back that she lost weigh and weighed 80# but when healed came back to compete in the Olympics. I was teary eyed during their performance thinking of the commitment it took to come back.

The amount of practice it takes to work together so closely must be staggering.

We have watched some skiing too. That is amazing. The giant slalom resembles the autocross courses I run in the cars.
