It is hard to believe that an event as cool as the Olympics only happens every four  years. Now before you say anything, I know the summer and winter Olympics alternate every two years but how cool would these be every year.

I know it is  unrealistic because of the enormous parameters of the event but look how it  brings the world together for a couple of weeks.

The best part for me was the  hockey finals,  and what a game on Sunday. This was one of the highest rated tv events ever. The  dramatic finish in regulation as the U.S. scored with under 30 seconds left made  me just about jump over the couch. Although the Canadians won the game it was  worth all of the suspense in watching the game.

I love the competition in every  sport, especially skiing and believe it or not, I actually love to watch ice  dancing, I am man enough to admit it. Now, even though I like the sport, I am  not sure about those outfits they wear, especially the men.  That alone would  keep me from participating in this sport.

Overall though, I thought that it was  nice that in the closing ceremoies that the Canadians were able to poke fun at  themselves about the 4th leg not opening up at the opening ceremonies. That is  what is wrong with people these days, they take themselves to seriously and think that they are to cool for everyone else.

Lighten up everybody, take things  in stride, and if you live by the model that you are not as cool as you think you are. You’ll  see things in a totally different light.

Summer is knocking at the door right now and it is a great time to get out and  start exercising if you haven’t already, I know a lot of you are in the Lose to Win program and I hope all is going well with that. If you are trying to do it  alone, so am I.

I am starting a 60-day program on Monday. My beginning weight is  182, I will keep you up to date with my progress. Hopefully by doing this, I can  get a few of you out there to join me and try to lose about 15 pounds. Just by  losing a few pounds, I am hoping to kick my energy level up.

Mark McGwire Now Mark Twain Highway

What are your thoughts on the Mark McGwire highway getting its name changed to  the Mark Twain highway? Watch, if the Cards win the World Series and it comes down to an explosive year of hitting, with McGwire as the hitting coach, the  sign could possibly be put back up.

That’s what society is all about these days,  what have you done for me lately. At least there is a chance to save money on  the signs because you can still use the Mark letters, just change the last name.  Look on the bright side.
