About all I watched of the Olympics was Curling (men’s and women’s).  My daughter and I sat there all through the women’s with Sweden and Canada.  Men’s with Norway and Canada.

Laconic Pup (co-worker) sent this to me and Black Lab on Crank added his observation “You’ll notice they don’t bother to list Venus.”
