Olympics

Cap got a hair cut today, the picture is below. I watched Miracle on the TV, a movie about the 1980 USA Hockey team that beat the Russian Hockey team. As the movie aptly stated, the game was much more than just a hockey game. With the cold war occurring, the Russians had invaded Afghanistan, and the turmoil of the Middle East, the country had been through several bumpy spots in the road. Jimmy Carter was the president at the time and he did not demonstrate an attitude of hope and success in many of his addresses to the nation. On a side not Mr. Carter had a brother named Billy, and Billy was in the promoted one brand of beer. The name of this beer was, that is right, “Billy Beer.”

When one talks about the Olympics, I think that it is interesting that there are more summer sports than winter sports. In one sense it is logical that people are more prone to go outside and goof off in the summer as opposed to the winter. The winter games in 2010 are going to be in Vancouver, Canada, and I would like to attend. The sports that I would like to watch are, Curling, Hockey, and some of the skiing events. In all actuality there are more sports in the summer games that I would like to watch, but Vancouver is a easier to get to then say, China, or London.
