U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A

As you all know we are a hockey family. We have watched both the men's and women's hockey games. We mostly followed Team USA. I paid some attention to the teams some of my other Rangers were playing for but we only watched Team USA. Both teams started out really strong. The women won the first three in a row - allowing only one goal in those three games. The men also played well - not quite as dominant as the women - winning their first three as well. At that point both teams played in the semi-finals. As of tonight Team USA women won the silver (in a very disappointing loss to Canada) and the men will play tomorrow for the right to play for the gold.

It has been very fun to cheer for my country. This has been the first Olympics that I have ever really paid attention to. I remember my grandparents watching the Olympics when I was a kid but I was too young to even really know what the Olympics were. Well, no that's not really true - Big Brother is younger than I was and he gets it. But no one really told me about them so I did not really know. And then I never really cared. I kind of like gymnastics and sometimes I will watch one or two events but never enough to really be rooting on my country. This time we have watched almost every game.

And so my Aloha Friday question to you this week is - did you watch the Olympics? Which events did you watch?
