Winter Olympics


Well there's nothing like leading a team meeting, doing file audits and watching the Olympics to put you in the mood for bed. After a slow start and much skepticism about whether I would ever get engaged int he Winter Olympics this year, I've become pretty into it. We watched the snowboard cross competition tonight (won by American Seth Wescott, above), which was awesome. Looking forward to the halfpipe events later on, too!

Disappointed about Evan Bayh deciding not to seek re-election this year, in what is really looking like it's going to be a dismal election year for Democrats in Congress. I'd get upset about it, but it's not as though they've been able to get a whole lot done with a super-majority. I do like Bayh, though, and think it is a shame when somebody like him quits out of frustration with the system (the purported reason).

In another depressing reminder that things don't seem to get better with time, check out the updated "We Are The World" (benefiting Haiti this time). The New York Times had a good article about it ... are these REALLY the best male vocalists we can dig up these days? Apparently the 80s really WEREN'T all that bad ... by comparison anyway.
