electriclandParents are off at brunch. My plans today: laundry, go for a walk to Riverdale Farm, throw stuff out, possibly rearrange furniture, probably better do some dishes as well. In between, glue self to TV.
I'm not a sports watcher in general, but when the Olympics are on I turn into a fanatic. (Fortunately, CBC seems dedicated to replaying the good bits over and over and over again, so I'm unlikely to miss much even if I try.) Caught the tail end of the Canada-Italy women's hockey game -- which, as several people have pointed out, must've been psychologically tough for both sides. Jen and I were in Gabby's at the time and the score in the top left corner of the TV screens looked like 10-0 (bad enough); it wasn't until they put it up in large print that we realized it was actually 16-0. Ouch. But the Italian goalie did a great job, considering the shots on goal.
Yay for Jennifer Heil! and poor Beckie Scott, although sixth isn't exactly disgraceful.
...oooh, the Canada-Russia game's starting, have to go.

I was sick with croop at the time -- gee, same thing now! sorta -- and it was the year Dean and Torville did Bolera in the Ice Dance competition. And Katarina Witt taking gold in the figure skating. And I think Dan Janssen was speed skating at the time too.
