We were met at the airport by a handful of others from the Gannett broadcast team covering these Olympics.

Tying up loose ends for our Olympic departure. The actual Games don't start until the 12th, but for us, it's go-week. We know who all our Minnesota Olympians are. We have game planned where and when we need to be in Vancouver. Now it's just a matter of getting there.

I found myself screaming at the TV at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday this week. Normally, that's Vikings related. But these days, it's all about the Winter Olympics. St. Louis Park's Steve Fisher was competing in the snowboarding halfpipe competition at Copper Mountain this week. He was sitting in fourth after the first run of the finals, but slipped all the way to seventh after his second run.
