I seem to be drawn to movies and/or books about the Olympics. I have no idea why. As I said in a recent post, 1980 was probably the first Olympic Games that I really remember vividly. And the U.S. Hockey team's Gold Medal win, and the fact that they also beat the Russians to get to the gold medal game, were huge memories for me.
Alex and I watched the movie "Miracle" a couple of nights ago. It was terrific. We were both on the edge of our seats even though we knew the outcome. If you remember anything about the 1980 Olympics or just heard about them, you should watch this movie. Even if you don't like hockey (which I don't) it's a great flick. Oh and I got it at the library... so it was free! Can't beat that.

You definitely have a weird pull to the Olympics....Zola Bud?!
What?? You mean not everybody names their pets after Olympic athletes?? Zola was a great cat!
Probably most people don't even know who Zola Bud is! (was? is she dead now? That was a long time ago)
Well, Zola Budd the runner is alive and well and living in South Africa. Zola Budd the cat unfortunately is no longer with us.
See...I didn't even know how to spell her name right!
