I have no idea!!! We are talking about John McCain on Facebook, listening to Obama's closing remarks on the Healthcare summit, commenting on that and I have the Oympics on in the background. Well, it's on mute, but I keep turning around and looking. LOL!

Anyway, I am absolutely loving the Olympics!!!

I loved that the USA Hockey team beat the Swiss yesterday.

Loved the Canadian couple that won the figure skating. No doubt they were the best.

Watching it right now and can't wait until tonight.

I was amazed at Joannie Rochet at being able to deliver the performance she did after losing her mother!

There is a message there.

Can you believe I missed it?!!!! I was on the phone!!! They haven't put a clip of her performance up anywhere! But, I get to see her tonight!

I'm going to miss the Olympics when it's over. Just glad we are ahead of the Germans on the Gold medals. Hope we increase the count!

I can watch it all online where they have it playing nonstop at CTV.CA.
Unfortunately as others noted, the internet blocks Americans trying to access CTV's Olympic web site.

There has been commentary from people on the radio that the American athletes who had previous games, ahem, came across as arrogant & conceited.
At these games, people have nothing but praise!!

Good for the Americans!

Also, there has been good things mentioned on the radio that out of all the media around, the Today show has been the most balanced about the games & Vancouver!

We've been practicing our humility. Are there medals for that?
