National Anthems

The choir sang the Russian anthem for the closing ceremonies. Has to be the best anthem ,almost like classical music which it probably is.
The commentator said ' we probably remember the anthem for the first time in..... ' and M and I said to-gether  ' the Hunt for Red October ' ...... the summit series in 1972 '. Ah , the prevalence of American media , can't beat it.

World news : another country struggling w/ the democaracy thing .. the Ukraine ... goodness as Will Rogers said ' We fought for democracy in 1940 , must have worked ain't no nation tried it since '

The R - IOC played one anthem at the ice hockey rink , O' Canada.
And it must be a real accomplishment considering who was trying to win gold in hockey. I mean both mens and womens.

The weather is not bad - still windy but close to freezing and sort of blue sky ,- really , pleasant for us up here.
Fla is warm and humid and crowded. Lousy weather every where in the U.S. has people desperate for something nice.
We're renewing our passports , so I guess that we still travel for the foreseeable future. Hate flying.
