Yano What I Mean?: Come Home Safe!

Come Home Safe!

It looks like the US short track team is heading out to Korea. I'm pretty concerned about them, in light of the death threats that have plagued Apolo's fan sites (and I'm sure his official site as well). He's not a popular guy out there, even beating out Osama Bin Laden in a poll for the most hated person in Korea. That's pretty big stuff.

Ohno Threats May Lead to Action by FBI

Since everyone else is having an Apolo love fest, I thought I'd give you all a preview of my Marquette pics...

And since the rest of the team is heading out there, here's a couple of my favorites of everyone else...

The whole team is in my thoughts during the world cups. I wish they didn't have to go, but I'm sure they wouldn't go if they weren't sure of their safety...

So I'll just say a little prayer for their safe return, til the day I can watch them skate again...

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the rains fall softly upon your fields until we meet again.
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
-Gaelic Blessing

Wonderful pictures! Yes Trishia Caroline has a very sweet face. :)

Why do I feel like I am sending the team off to war instead of a competition? :*(
