Topic of the day: alcohol, so what?

This is another story related to "moral police" and Olympics, after the foul language incident I wrote about last week: the Canadian women hockey team beat US in the gold medal game yesterday. Afterwards, they came back to the ice to celebrate with champagne, beer and cigar. They were criticized for disrespect to their country and the Olympic spirit. Take it easy, people! Let's not blow things way out of proportion. The only issue I have with this incident is that Marie-Philip Poulin, who scored both goals for Canada, doesn't turn 19 -- legal drinking age in British Columbia -- until next month. And she was seen with beer in her hand. Well, the legal drinking age is 18 at Alberta, where the team trains. Maybe she's not aware of the higher age limit in B.C.

Music of the day: O mio babbino caro

I know playing opera tunes on violin sounds kinda cheesy. Well, Joshua Bell did it (on his Romance of the Violin album) too so it feels a bit more justified. I gotta admit I like it a lot when I heard it on the radio yesterday. I've got the sheet music and this will be the song I practice next!

Animal of the day: Komodo dragon

My son taught me something new today: Komodo dragon is the biggest and heaviest lizard in the world.

Sports highlights: Super 14 Rugby, Winter Olympics plus more

My weekend began with Super 14 Rugby on Friday night. Saturday morning, Man U vs Everton was on ESPN. Then Inter Milan vs Samdoria. NASCAR Nationwide Series (yes, I watched because of Danica) UFC (What a quick knockout) NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. And winter olympics (curling and hockey) of course!

Life is not bad after super bowl.
