What a fantastic day for the US at the Olympics yesterday. Shaun White and Lindsay Vonn both pulled Gold, and Shani Davis got his repeat Gold - a very rare event in speed skating long track. We also had a Silver in the women's downhill, a Bronze in the half-pipe and a Bronze in the speed skating long track. All is good! Of course, our skips are really not doing well in curling. The men's team has had the same clutch button shot for the past two rounds and blew it both times to lose both games. The women's team also has lost two rounds now. They will have to win their third game and many others to proceed to the semi-finals and it's not looking good. 
Tonight places me in a television quandry. I have the finals of the men's figure skating - something that I absolutely WILL NOT miss, but I also have Survivor - the one television program that I insist on watching. I have a feeling that I'll catch Survivor on "on-demand" and watch it on my computer instead, later in the week. I refuse to miss the skating.
And for those of you who are not tied up in the Olympics. So sorry that you're getting one more dose with my blog. But I love them, and I post about things that I love. I did continue progressing on my etching designs yesterday, and prepped a bunch of pieces for more enamel work. I have some firm dimensions now for paper templates, and I have more etching components on order because I was too low on stock (and also had a tough time finding my papers). Since I'm still awaiting my translations, I have time to get a new shipment of papers into my hands. Of course that costs money that I really don't have, but I'll spend for my art where I won't for other things.
