Olympics

I've never been a big fan of the Olympics in years past but for some reason, I've really enjoyed this winter session. Maybe it's because the media coverage lets you get to know the competitors in a more personal way. Whatever it may be, I've made an effort to watch as many of the events as I can. The downhill variants, the moguls, luge, skeleton, bobsled, skating, snowboarding, freestyle ski jumping... it's all been exciting to watch. I still can't get into the ice dancing or curling however. Of all the events, I prefer the individual versions the most over the team ones. Just knowing that an athlete put all that time into being able to do their very best when their time to compete came then to see their faces when they win is great. It's also painful to see when they come apart for the same reasons.

In other news, on a suggestion from Eric, I picked up the new John Mayer Trio CD while out shopping last Sunday. What a change from his last album! Grooving tunes and some great musicianship. I already have it loaded on my iPod getting some serious play. On the other end of the spectrum, I picked up Sevendust's "Next" album. So far I'm digging it too.

I need to hop in bed. Got a busy day tomorrow heading to the studio to shoot a new commercial for a client.

Have fun.
