Winter Olympics

Downhill skiing.  The American woman who won 2nd place.  The one who isn't Lindsey Vonn.  She wore a tiara after the race and for the podium.

And this is what I love about the Olympics.  Here's this fierce competitor.  She's focused.  She's driven.  She's one of the Best in the World.  She won the downhill event in Torino, and then a silver medal this time.  Clearly, she's a force to be reckoned with.

And she stands up on the podium, tiara on her head, and does a little girl dance of triumph.  It was so cute and so ... cute.  It wasn't fierce.  It wasn't focused.  It was just pure little kid joy.

I turned to Rob and said, "Girls can get away with that kind of stuff.  Can you imagine a guy doing that?"

Rob said, "No.  Except maybe Johnny Weir."

And we both laughed.
