Well, I finally sat down and watched some of the Olympic coverage over the weekend. It was amazing watching bobled and luge competition. It has got to be pretty scary zipping down that course at those incredible speeds, but what a ru\sh that must be....I also watched Apollo Ono capture more medals. That';s quite and accomplishment, medalling in three different Olympics. I love hockey and couldn't take my eyes off the match between the USA and Canada yesterday night. The so-called experts all picked the Canadiens but the boys in red, white and blue prevailed 5-3.....Now on to the gold medal!

What did you think of the Tiger Woods news conference? He certainly took all the blamed and offered no excuses but he seemed awfully angry to me. I'm not sure how sincere his apology was. I noticed his mother did not even look at himn while he was speaking. That says a lot in itself.

My IU Hoosiers continue to struggle, They were blown out at Minnesota over the weekend. At mid-season, I thought they had turned a corner, but ti was a corner in the wrong direction. After close losses to Purdue and Minnesota, it looks like they hit the wall. Now I'm afarid they may not win another game this year. I guess I'll turn my attention to the ISU Sycamores. They look to be on the upswing. Even without two of their top players, the Sycamores continue to dig out hard fought victories. Congrats to Coach Kevin McKenna who has done a great job turning the program around.

I want to welcome local Marines back to town. A group arrived bak to Terre Haute Friday night. Thankfully the entire unit returned home intact, with no deaths or injuries. My own son spent a stint in Afghanistan, so I know the relief friends and family are feeling on their safe return. God bless them all.

And finally I had a great time this weekend doing karaoke down at Rafters, I was there both Friday and Saturday nights. While I didn't sing every song flawlessly, I rocked on a few numbers and enjoyed every minute. If you're looking for a good time on the weekends. come down and join us at Rafters on east Wabash. We'll be looking for you.....
