I am developing a new appreciation for our forefathers who had to survive long winters trapped indoors. This ice event has been brutal for some areas of the US Southeast. We have been lucky in that we have not lost power and I have been able to enjoy the Olympics. There is not a Winter Olympic event I do not like! One that I find particularly exciting is the Skeleton. Humans throw themselves onto a flimsy sled and race face-down in a death-defying race for gold. That takes guts! Another aspect that I love are those athletes that stand no chance of earning a medal, but who are representing their countries the best they can and who truly appreciate the Olympic experience. One such athlete is the young man skating for the Philippines. Michael Christian Martinez is a first, for the Philippines and for Southeast Asia.
I hope that everyone is safe and warm in this weather and having the opportunity to savor the Olympic experience from the comfort of your couch! ~ The Wife, Elise
