Hi Sonia, Perhaps as a fellow graphics geek you can help – I've been all over the site but can't find what I'm looking for. I 'm on the staff of the Little Rock, Arkansas Convention and Visitors Bureau and we would like to offer a couple of better photos of our city for use on Southwest's Little Rock page. Do you know who I would contact? Thanks, Dan Limke dlimke@littlerock.com ... View more

I TOO was able to snag some CANADA RED MITTENS ( child size - LOL) "still suffering from Olympic fever—yep, it’s contagious " I too was able to be @ the Olympics 20th thru 26th , will agree the Olympics in person is AMAZINGLY AWESOME, can not wait till the next one, Summer 2012. My special highlights were of Vancouver were: saw APOLO speed his way to a Bronze medal, women's relay speedskating get Bronze, Aerials skier Jeret taking a Silver and best was Women's short program figure skating .. standing ovation, not a dry eye in house for the Canada skater Joannie, So many great memories and pictures. Thank you SWA for my flight benefits. Thanks for your post Sonia ... View more

Hi Sonia, We don't know each other but I was intrigued by your awesome opportunity to be a part of the Vancouver Olympics. So I visited your blog. Like you, I have loved ice skating since I was young (which was a long time ago), and have followed figure skating not only during the Winter Olympics but anytime I could find a program on television. Just before we adopted our first son, I began taking ice-skating lessons in my 30-somethings. It was exhilarating to sail across the ice--frontwards, backwards--and actually learn movements that resembled the beginning of swirling patterns. Joining an Ice Capades (have I dated myself) drill team was next on my dream list~until one evening during a free- skate time, I was attempting a new movement while another skater zipped by me. I cautiously flinched and lost my balance. Quickly my skates slid forward, and I tipped backward becoming one with the ice. Lying on the ice with my instructor hovering over, I counted my blessings that I had just a surface ice burn on my head. The burn, however, grew a bruised lump, and the Urgent Care Doctor pronounced that I had a concussion. It was then that I decided to make ice skating just a fun sport and focus on the gift of our newborn son. But every chance I had after that to be on the ice, I was there. So, thank you for the vicarious thrill of your Winter Olympic story, which brought back many memories. From one blogger to another~ Janis ... View more
