"Ode to Bode"


This post goes out to Bode Miller who captured the Gold Medal in the Alpine Skiing Super Combined Competition which consists of the combined best times of the Downhill and Slalom races in the same day. He has been one the the best hopes for a U.S. Gold since the Salt Lake Games in 2002 but only managed two silvers at those Games. Four years later in Torino, he was shut out as his main focus seemed to be partying as opposed to skiing. Been there, done that.

Since those Games in Italy he has married and fathered a little girl and not surprisingly, has calmed down and has re-committed himself. Children can definitely change your direction in an instant and help you do amazing things. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the U.S. Hockey Team upsetting the heavily favored Canadian Club. Love it, love it, love it!!!
