Fever...

So, my RSV is gone, I'm home from the hospital, and I'm not on oxygen anymore. Still, no clean bill of health yet...I've caught Olympic Fever. I watched all the action and recreated it in our family room: bobsledding, downhill and cross country skiing, snowboarding, skicross, luge – you name it, I did it. And I picked up a few heroes along the way:

Ryan Miller - USA hockey goalie

Shani Davis - USA long track speed skater

J.R. Celski - USA short track speed skater

Louie Vito - USA snowboarder

Shaun "Flying Tomato" White - USA snowboarder

My favorite, though, was this guy: Apolo. Anton. Ohno!






I watched each of his races, and then reenacted them, copying his style as I "skated" my way around and around our leather ottoman coffee table.

Problem was, short track speed skating doesn't really work on carpet, so I convinced Mom and Pops to let me try the real thing.
