I didn't have time to do this post because we were busy cleaning for another showing yesterday.
Well, that was time wasted because it doesn't appear that they even showed up.
That is becoming an all too common scenario.
Anyway, I went ahead and signed up to volunteer for the
American Cup 1 Short Track Speedskating competition
that will be held here in October.
I will be serving in the official and volunteer hospitality area.
That's the best place to be because that's where all the food is!
They still need people to serve as "shadows".
You are assigned an athlete and then must follow that athlete
around once the competition ends making sure they aren't
ingesting or injecting any illegal substances.
Then, you have to watch them urinate in a cup
and verify that it is their urine.
This doping stuff is serious business.
I decided to pass on that task.
"Scheduled to appear" are Apolo Ohno and J.R. Celski
(not the South Korean in the middle.)

Apolo won Dancing with the Stars!
(Oh, and 8 Olympic medals)
J.R. nearly had his leg sliced off by a speedskate
but recovered in time to win a few medals in Vancouver.
If they don't show, that's okay. It will still be fun.
And, I need to start volunteering again so I can have first pick when
the Visa U.S. Gymnastics Championships/Olympic Trials come here next summer.
Speaking of gymnastics, did you see the U.S. Championships last week?
Rebecca Bross, defending champion, who spent most of last year
recovering from an ankle injury went and did this.
Ugh! Dislocated her kneecap.
Hopefully she will recover in time to make the Olympic team.
About one month earlier, Russian gymnast Aliya Mustafina, defending world champion did this
Tore her ACL. I hope she recovers too.
She is unbelievably talented.
The Olympic gymnastics competition won't be the same if she can't be there.
Now The Magic Loogie has to prepare for the
Festivus Fantasy Football Draft.
What's that smell?
Oh, it's me grilling up a T-Bone in my division.
