It's 10:15...way past my bedtime for a 4:30am wakeup. Full day today, successful Super-G, Aksel won with Bode and Andrew Weibrecht in 2 and 3. I'm happy for the Norwegian and happy for the Americans also on the podium. Blazing sunshine and a fragile track because of it. But the lower section of the course held up better than anticipated.

Had the pleasure of calling my mom today at Harmony Elementary and holding the phone to the Olympic Super-G course as a racer was passing by so the kids could hear an Olympic athlete in action. Simple but gratifying; I hope the other end enjoyed it as much as I did. Answered a few questions, also.

I JUST got out of my gear...ended up not going home until now. Had a couple beers at the Weasel House and then met Sabrina and company for dinner in the village tonight. They managed to get me credentials into the Team Canada House for a couple glasses of wine just as the Canadian skeleton won gold - definitely a good moment....but only because the USA has such a cache of medals now. So...good for Canada, but...good for us, too. :-)

I've unfortunately mixed the grape and the grain tonight, which will hopefully make me sleep well...

Men's DH training tomorrow and women's Super-G...stay tuned. I'll get some more pics up soon.

Sincerely hope all is well.
