They say it's your....

1. Great lyrics from those golden anniversary Beatles...I eschewed the traditional donut, a 10 on the Oly scale of fried happiness, for a familiar carb from the islands...one that every elementary school kid remembers selling door to door for fund risers...the Hawaiian sweet bread. Breakfast of champions with a cuppa of tea. You're only as old as you feel; and some days it's all horse shit; but today there's alpine skiing featuring the 18 year old phenom, Mikaela Shiffrin, from Sochi, and hey, keep tripping the light fantastic...

2. Michael Sam. The line backer from Mizzou who announced to the world
(NFL) that he is gay is eligible to be drafted in May. Let's see which team rolls the dice and picks him.

3. Awfully quiet in Sochi. Too quiet. No pink demonstrations. No pink fists raised from the podium. PC in a conflicted way; athletes focused on medaling. The whole world is watching. Time to stir it up.

4. Ellen Page. Am I the only person on the face of the planet who didn't see that coming? You go girl. We love the 'Hard Candy' babe!

5. House of Cards. Back in the saddle...season 2. Truly, a contemporary spectacle worthy of the Roman coliseum. Best actor gliding through the lines and moving like a dorsal finned predator...Robin Wright. Brilliant. Under stated. More importantly, uh I wanna know her work out routine. Binge and marvel.
