Things I love about the 2018 Winter Olympics

South Korea totally has its ish pulled together. No stories of hotel rooms falling apart or bacteria-laden water. The only wrinkles have been the weather which is … cold and wintry!

Norwegian curling pants. If you’re on the world stage and the cameras are focused primary from the waist down, may as well shine. The pants have their own Facebook page

I’m seeing this everywhere without attribution. If the picture is yours and you want me to take it down, email me. 🙂

Tara and Johnny. Just as smart as Dick Button and Scott Hamilton, but with a fun and modern twist.

NO BOB COSTAS OR MATT LAUER! Mike Tirico is a delight. He’s knowledgeable but doesn’t bludgeon you with it, and actually looks like he’s enjoying the job.

Maia and Alex Shibutani – I love their sibling relationship. They remind me of what my brother and I could have been had we been athletic and/or ambitious.

Comcast/Universal/NBC/LexCorp – With Comcast we are getting all of the Olympics we could ever want. We get the primetime highlights on NBC, but can dive deeper to watch events live and without a lot of commentary. Perfect for WM’s curling obsession.

    I stopped watching because I ended up watching the same events every night and that’s not cool.

    But yes, those curling pants are amazing. They would make Guppy Troup proud.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
