For some reason I ended up going to lots of events, and the best part of that meant pretty much no school for two weeks.
I was at a US hockey game and Brian Leetch was actively trying to pick up chicks in the stands during stops in play. No kiddin'. I was right down by the ice and he's making eyes and smiling at some cute babes as they are lining up for the faceoff.
Because of all the weather and wind and whatnot they had that big day at COP when they were running a bunch of different events --aerials, moguls, bobsled, ski jumping. I think they said there were 180 thousand people there that day. I don't know about that, but it was a hell of a crowd.
I saw Eddie the Eagle nearly kill himself. How many people can sit in that bowl? Everyone in there was holding their breath, I swear.
That whole thing was a lot of fun.
I saw a woman on the train last winter wearing an absolutely pristine Sun Ice Olympic volunteer jacket. She must have kept this thing in a climate controlled vault.
I saw a commercial for figure skating on American TV last week and Katarina Witt was in it and man, she is still a bombshell 20 years later. Wow.
