Look at the two guys

February 13, 2002

Look at the two guys from Estonia. They won the first medals for their country . . .EVER. Both in cross-country skiing. Both in the same race. Today we should all be Estonian -- completely Estoned. We should all be the overachieving underdogs at the afterparty. None of us would be practiced in winning and thus more appreciative than past winners. We'd be quickly drunk and asleep with a smile and a few scrapes leftover from all the "rushing out" and in the morning walking to the breakfast smorgasbord in our most comfortable shoes and being that almost impossible combination of tired and content. Todays job is only to prepare for further accolades and congratulations at the coming banquet. This Estonian thing could catch on. Downside?
