It was a rare and painful start to these games for the Georgians -- to lose a teammate on a practice luge run. I'm very sorry for their loss. But with fast and dangerous sports come risks, and this was a risk fulfilled. As I'm (sorta) watching luge right now, and guess what? I see snowflakes! This could bode well for the skiing that was delayed due to all the rain lately. Wait, I think it's mixed rain and snow. But if a cold front moves in, well, that would be a good thing. Now they're calling it sleet. This is Winter precipitation in our part of the world. Ever changing. Apolo Ohno qualified for the 1500 meter in short track, as did J.R.

It will be nice to see some events tomorrow, because I can't wait for the opening ceremony to end. It had a few moments, but none were particularly memorable. It was good that they embraced all of their cultures, including the natives. Of course nothing could compare to the opening of the Summer Games in China which was, in my opinion, insuperable .

I like k.d.lang, but could she possibly have sung Hallelujah and more slowly? and, get a tailor, girlfriend. (Okay that was the snarky me coming out. Forgive me.) I talked to G tonight, and her insurance company wants to cut her off and move her to a group home. I don't think so; she's not near ready to be with amateur caregivers. Her next move is to appeal that decision. So, for now, she stays put. Damned insurance companies. Good Night, TTYL and Be Wel...
