Kudos to Belbin & Agosto!


Many of you know that I am a big fan of figure skating. It's something I became interested in during the 1992 Olympics. Anyway, I just had to boast about the results of the Ice Dancing competition in Torino (you know, the Olympics). Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto, a U.S. ice dancing team, won the SILVER MEDAL in Ice Dance tonight. The last (and only) time a U.S. ice dance team has won an Olympic medal was in 1976...and it was bronze. So not only did Tanith and Ben win the first Olympic ice dance medal for the U.S. in 30 years, they placed higher than ANY U.S. team has ever placed in that event. Woohoo!

Tomorrow is the ladies' figure skating competition begins. More fun! It's a good thing the Olympics only happen every four years. Otherwise, I'd NEVER get any sleep.

You win some....you lose some...

OK, so the Redskins lost to the Seahawks, 20-10. But we're still proud of them for making it to the second round of the playoffs! Imagine what another year under Joe Gibbs will do for them. Superbowl 2007, here we come!

On the bright side, New England's bid to win three straight Superbowls ended. Yeah!

Hail to the Redskins!

The Washington Redskins made the playoffs for the first time since 1999. Even better, they won their game against Tampa last week to advance to the second round.

So today they're playing the Seattle Seahawks. Go Redskins!
