Is this the coolest event or what? Glad Seth Wescott of the USA took the gold medal.

My bf was dedicated to watching the olympics but I flaked out. Too much homework. I did get to see Gretchen and Hannah do their snowboarding thing. I LOVE snowboarding.
Who was that girl who tried showing off when she was in first place and she wiped out and ended up in 3rd?

Oh, it was 2nd. I thought it was kinda funny. She was such a hot dog at the end and then splat I'm so mean. But she was a great sport about it. They interviewed her later and she talked about it and laughed it off. She said she was just really happy and did a jump and landed wrong. I can't blame her. If I worked my tail off for the olympics and I was winning I would have been super excited too.

I hope that the image of the typical snowboader and skateboarder will change from young punk to athelete.

Do you snowboard? My bf does but it isn't for me. Maybe someday I'll try it but for now I'll stick with the skis. I notice younger kids really are getting into it. My niece is only 9 and she loves snowboarding.

cross country skiing is better anyway. You get a much better work out that way. Have you been skiing this winter?

That happens when warm air moves across the Great Lakes (mainly Lake Ontario). About two inches fell today. I was out for a few hours w/ my cross-country skiis. But this snow is very heavy and it will begin to stick under each ski.

Well our snow is just starting to melt here so I'm thinking spring is finally here. I'm happy though because I'm READY to see flowers for once. I hate the look of dirty snow.

I hate when the snow is heavy and slushy. Yeah, the daffodils are starting to come up on the side of the house but they are covered in ice.

^ aw, you have flowers already - I'm jealous. This house had daffodils in before I moved here (my grandmother planted them) and the ground hogs or something ate them all. I was going to do tulips last fall but thought they would just get eaten again anyway. I'm going to concentrate on herbs and veggies this summer.

Hi Jenna I think it's called half-pipe. I could NEVER do those 1080's and the flips. I think Shaun White was at a ski resort in NY state. Joe

I don't know any of the guys who snowboard. I'm slowly becoming a Gretchen fan.
