Well the Olympics came to an end last night in snowy Vancouver and I for one will miss the games. I watched as much of the contests as possible over the last 2 weeks but my focus was on the men's hockey. Growing up playing and loving the sport my mind will forever have the 80's men's team etched deep within it. Not many people gave the USA team much hope this year since there were a lot of younger players chosen this time around to represent out great country. Well when the ice was cleared and the goals counted we came up one short! Not to bad for a team that didn't even finish in the top 5 the last go around. Hat's off to the boys and salute to a great Canada team! Sid the kid sealed the deal for team Canada and ended what was a great run by team USA! Well if we were going to lose I soon be it to the Country that invented the game and not the dreaded Russians or the finesse plagued Fins. Well I will be looking forward to the next Winter Wonder Games in 2014 in mother Russia.
Is Spring ever going to show it's warmer temperatures? Seems like we are stuck in this perpetual 30-40 degree range. Come on where is the Global Warming thing I keep hearing about!
By the way FYI: Daylight Saving Time always begins on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November. That means that the first day of spring in 2010 is March 20.
The Chile Quake death toll is over 700 now and still rising keep them in your prayers!
Finally, the Cardinals are heating things up down in sunny Florida and I am ready for a little baseball. Nothing better then the smell of fresh cut grass and the smell of BBQ as the sound of the Cardinals baseball drifts across my deck.
Ok, well being Monday it means work! yuck so I suppose I should get ready to do a little.
Chow!!!
