the "Elympics"

Mom, Dad, and I watched the Winter Olympics from Vancouver after choir practice tonight. We watched the men's Nordic skiing long-distance wins by two Americans and an Austrian. We watched the women's free skate program, in which the favored Kim Yu-Na dazzled the audience and was taken by her own scores. She was joined by Mao Asada from Japan, and Joannie Rochette of Canada on either side of her on the podium. More women's figure skating results are linked here.

Mom, Dad, and I were dazzled by the Olympics tonight, or thee Elympics, as Joyce's kids used to call them. A nice way to unofficially end the bulk of my work week.
