only a month or so until the winter olympics. this may sound strange, but my whole life i've been fascinated by the biathlon and ski jumping. i wait four years just to see the best in the world compete and then it's over in a couple of weeks.
everybody read that book 'snow treasure' as a kid, right? about smuggling gold past the nazis and human courage, right? and who can forget the classic abc worldwide sports clip of that jumper flying teeth first into certain death and breaking apart end over tea kettle on the landing? that's big nuts there.
but every winter olympics i take the opportunity to reevaluate my social strategy for the coming four years and face the age old question:
tanya harding? or nancy kerrigan?
although in our new multicultural alternative lifestyle world, i suppose the question might as easily be oksana biaul or brian boitano?
