It's That Time...

Yep, it's February and two years ago the summer version was here.

Need I say more?

Wasn't really paying that much attention to all the pre-Olympic hype. Haven't really been following the Olympic trials in my fav winter sports -- short and long track speed skating, and then just plain skating, ice dancing, the long distance skiing events.

But now that it's here, I find my attention drawn to these events during the evening hours and some times during the day.

I'm digging it. Just like the other 90+ million others who've taken a peek or two since the games started last Friday night in Vancouver.

As a native Chicagoan, I can't even tell you how much it blows that we lost the Summer 2016 games. I mean ouch, but Rio better bring it. So far -- especially after severe and major power outages, I'm not that confident they can, but losers can't be choosy, huh...?

Did I mention it's taking place in one of my to-visit-destinations, Whistler? And that it's unseasonably warm there, like 50 degree plus days...?

A week and a half to go. USA, USA...
