My favorite Olympic athelete.

This is Liz, for all of you that don't know her she's having the time of her life right now in Vancouver skiing in the 2010 Olympics on the U.S. Ski team. Liz is someone I clearly identify with as she loves what she does and she lives life to its fullest and does it well. I'm lucky to have met Liz as she stops in at the local shop I work at in downtown Montpelier when she has time to say hi and hang out. Just ask Liz and she'll be the first to tell you she has the best job in the world which is what makes her my kind of person. May we all find that zeal and courage to follow our dreams and find happiness I'm sure its a little different for all of us but may you find it well.

So here's to Liz who I'm sure has a smile on her face as I type this because that's just the kind of person she is. May you ski like the wind and have the time of your life.

Cheers

Vonn finds Olympic gold.

As everyone wondered what would happen Lindsey Vonn ripped the downhill race of her life through the pain and injury that put all her olypmic dreams in question. She proved that she indeed is the best womans downhill skier of her time, now she has the gold to prove it.

Gold in Denim.

This was by far the most exciting morning in the winter Olympic games for me thus far. Waking up to watch Seth Wescott the defending Olympic snowboard cross champion come from behind to inch out the Canadian rider Mike Robertson at the finish, Seth took the smooth inside lines and waited patiently to reel in the gold hungry Canadian. By far the most thrilling final so far in the winter Olympics! Here's to Wescott and Robertson for one hell of a race. I think the next time I hit the mountain its going to be in some true blue Denim; bad ass.
