I settled down to watch some of the Olympics coverage tonight; I've been a big fan since I was young and got a big book from my Mom about the history of the Olympics (it covered up to 1980.) Tonight's coverage included some of the pairs figure skating events.

Cayne stops what he's doing, walks over to near where I am and says "Don't you want to call aquariumgirl?"

"No, why? She's not home tonight."

"Well, I know you guys both liked to watch the figure skating together, and stuff before, so I thought you might want to call her."

"Awww, that was really sweet of you. It means a lot to me. It was nice of you to think of that, and to include my relationship with her as a part of our life."

"Nah, I'm just in it for the threesome."

"Why do you have to spoil it when I say nice things like that?"

"Because I don't deserve it-all the heaps of praise that you lavish on me."

Thoughtful and humble...could I do better?

It was a little weird for me to see the women in pants. Also, did they have more compulsory moves (eight, I think?) than previous years? It seemd a lot of routines were too similar for my liking.

Yes, the routines all looked alike. I think this new scoring system is going to take a while to break in. Then, hopefully, we will return to unique routines that combine the beauty of skating with the music.

I think the new scoring system is continuing to emphasize the athletics over the artistry, and until they into it, it will continue to look that way. Give it a few seasons I suppose.

:-) I thought about you last night, too.

This was a little funny forward I got yesterday. I didn't forward it, but what you said reminded me of it...and it made me chuckle...so here it is, filling up your page space...

Shopping for Husbands

A store that sells new husbands has just opened in New York City,
where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at
the entrance is a description of how the store operates.

You may visit the store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the
attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights.

There is, however, a catch: you may choose any man from a
particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you
cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.

On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs.

The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids.

The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids, and are extremely good
looking.

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep
going.

She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are
drop-dead gorgeous and help with the housework.

Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand
it"

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are
drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and
have a strong romantic streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth
floor and the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor.
There are no men on this floor.
This floor exists solely as proof that women
are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
