Strange But True

First: To my regular readers and dear friends -- I apologize for having to make this request, but due to my old browser and even older software, I can no longer enjoy e-cards. For those who already sent them, thank you, and you're not in trouble, but this has become an issue. Thanks for understanding. :-)

I sat up far into the night and watched some live Olympic coverage, and of all the sports here I have watched over the history of my viewing of the Winter Olympics, I just simply had no room in my head for the exquisite and very VERY surprising grace and strategy that is evident in the sport of curling.

Dick Cheney. CYA, fellow hunters.

Naturally, if a civilian accidentally shot the Vice President in the face with peppershot, it would also get played down in the media.

Suppressed for a day, and then only publicized via a local newspaper.

Yeah, right. "How do you do -- I'm the Easter Bunny."

Pairs figure skater Zhang Dan fell out of a quadruple salchow throw, and walked off a faceplant and a kneeknock to win a silver medal with her partner, Zhang Hao.

She has for now for me become the face of this year's Olympics.

I taped the first evening of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show last night and watched Olympics instead.

I'll fast forward through the dogs to see who won what. :-)

---

In honor of Valentine's Day -- I'll admit a guilty pleasure. I watch "Flavor Of Love" on VH1.

Flav is such a Cheez Doodle, in a 'can't look away from the accident' kind of way.

Okay. Happy Valentine's Day, my friends.

Thanks for reading me today.
