I wanted to add some color here for the dullest and darkest month of the year. Do you think there is hidden meaning in my choosing grey, with a mere touch of purple and raspberry, to color up the blog?
In February 2006 I wrote a post called Bode, Bode, Bode. I don’t know what is more sad, the fact I’ve been blogging since before the last winter Olympics, or that I wrote a post about Bode Miller.

Gray and farting do not go together as everyone knows the color of the methane/sulfur mixture is an eye-watering yellow.

Bode Miller is as wild as the Notch from which he issues.
I’m kind of fond of gray despite it’s not being directly related to farts.
Pull your finger?

There is no black and white only grey – not your philosophy is it?
I bet he got/gets his Nike sponsorship back, arshole or not?

I keep thinking I’ve already answered this.
I like the new look and your twitter logo much more than twitter. Hope all’s well with you.

I’m glad you like it. Makes my day.
Oh, I think the latter. Although I did have a 45-minute conversation last night about curling, so I have no room to talk.
Also, I think January is much worse. Of course, I was born in February. Our slogan is “Hey, at least we’re not January.”

A 45 minute conversation about curling – sober – would give you no room to talk. February is suicide prevention month – there has to be a reason for that.
The difference between Bode Miller and Shaun White is that one was a total asshole last time around and the other was not. The rest of the athletes came somewhere in between. Each having small assholish moments but none as large a Miller’s.
I think the latter too. Of course losing sponsorships makes one less of an asshole in public. ;)
Using gray to color something up is a cooper trait for sure.

Bode always tweeked me the wrong way.
The best thing about February is that it’s so short. I like the new look… it’s got just the right amount of color. I tried to care about the Olympics, but I failed miserably. Curling does look like it might be fun if beer was involved.

Beer is always involved in curling.

i heard that whole “there is a lot of drinking in curling” story before.
Francis, Not short enough for some people. It started off fun with all those blizzards, not it’s just tedious.
Bode is sick, though I think the latter is more worrisome in the long run.
Tell me again why ice dancing is a sport? If ice dancing can be a sport curling can be a sport.
.-= G´s last blog ..Got to go with Mick Jagger =-.
I have no idea why ice dancing is a sport to tell you the truth for the same reason rhythmic gymnastics is – I guess.
Two words: female audiences.
.-= sauerkraut´s last blog ..Gus Sayer: those involved have been disciplined =-.
I think it’s more like “older female audiences”.
This gray is exactly the color of my winter coat–I’m the only person to wear one here despite the weather being in the 30′s until this week so of course I love it–it’s more silver
I love raspberry. Purple well it’s the color of royalty and you are so….
I knew you would be the only one down there with sense enough to wear a coat.
See I knew this was the darkest and dullest month of the year! No wonder they made it so short! It can only get better!

It has been a rather depressing month, the lack of sunshine is definitely bothering me.
