Vancouver? When is that? I could actually do that (and, interestingly, my bf Alex and I would both like to see Curling... we were fascinated at the last winter games)

I enjoyed watching curling in the winter Olympics. My grandpa used to do curling (though obviously not at the Olympic level) when he was younger.

Vancouver hosts the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Curling will be held February 16-27.

Heh. Noted.

I'd like to go to Vancouver ... but I remember not being able to afford any decent events at Salt Lake. I might, however, be able to afford curling. But would I want to?

Every time I see the end of the John McCain commercial where he says "I'm John McCain and I approve this message" I can only think of disapproving rabbits.

OOOO. Vancouver. That's totally doable for me.

Gotta love having family in the area.

Should reaction time come into how fast you run a race?

I saw a false start and started to wonder. So much is determined by how fast you get off the blocks. If you have a reaction time that's slower than the guy next to you but you actaully cover the distance more quickly, you're faster, right? I guess that's part of it, but I wonder if there was something like the start of a drag race with lights moving down to the green to start if it would make a difference.

I don't believe that the race is truly about who is the fastest from point A to point B but rather, who gets to point B in the shortest amount of time from when the race starts.
