March 1st

The Month of the Olympics has come to a close, but the spirit of high achievement and inspiring stories lives on. And there are many things that remind us of good memories. There are exclamations of delight when someone opens the cupboard and finds a cereal box emblazoned with pictures of athletes and handy pictures of said athletes gobbling corn flakes. There are a few certain tunes that keep getting stuck in our heads. And down the hill, at the snow-covered golf course, our cross-country ski tracks have become punctuated by several large snow piles... somebody has been crafting some impressive ski jumps, and, judging by the tracks, has actually been using them quite successfully. We are considering posting a sign down there -- perhaps "the Kremlin" or "welcome to Rosa Khutor"... or maybe, "See you in Rio"?
