Seduced by the Olympics

hrjThe journal isn't getting much of me at the moment because I'm in the middle of a two-week stand with the Winter Olympics. I love the Olympics. I love the fact that they've stopped insisting on the female figure skaters all wearing little fake skirty things. Some still do, but now there's a choice. I'm amused by the difference in demeanor between the athletes in newer "extreme" sports and those in the more "traditional" sports. I have to say I prefer the more dignified "traditional" approach, but it's interesting to see the range of behaviors.
The last little bits of the mortgage/house business are settling themselves out. Money has been transferred to my parents' account and they have the quitclaim deed to get notarized. We still need to officially dissolve the partnership, but I need to check out some legal advice on that part. This evening I sent off the payoff for my student loan, so the mortgage will be my only long-term debt.
The brief warm spell has faded, but I stuck to my decision to get back to bicycling to work again. The days have lengthened enough that it's still reasonably light even after I'm done at the gym, if I leave work promptly and don't have any other errands. Another month, and there'll even be enough daylight when I get home to start putting in some yard time before getting to the housework.
