Thanks, Pax, for a three day vacation. Barricaded roads prevented me from getting to work even if I had wanted to.

And for being sentenced to spending the three days watching Winter Olympics. I will, however, revise my previous statement that one just can't get enough Winter Olympic sport. One can. Once every four years is enough.

And, in an Olympic update for those of you boycotting the games, the overall winner is the GLBT movement, (both gay and straight - there are heteros pretending to be homos in protest of Russian laws and leaders). The Netherlands (pun intended) are doing well too.

I like all of the sports, but I didn't expect to enjoy the slopestyle events as much as I did. Those little people (especially the women - girls) are as cute a buttons in their daring and enthusiasm (both in abundance).

Men’s and women’s hockey are fun to watch, and I'm not usually a hockey fan. But the women appeared to be as hard charging as the men, no quarter given, and if it weren't for the ponytails I would have been hard pressed to guess that those were women on the ice.

What, this is the wrong thread for Olympics? Just saying that Pax is obviously on the side of the GLBTs (you didn’t think this was coming home, did you?).
