Day 55 - Feb 24th

I stayed up too late last night watching the women's short program at the Winter Olympics - I was thrilled I caught Rochette's performance and sad I missed Kim Yu-na's. I have to say - I thought Rochette did a fantastic job. And I don't know if anyone else noticed it or not but out of respect for her grief, the announcers said NOTHING during her performance. I don't think I've ever seen that at the Olympics. They let her honor her mom without interruption.

All that to say - I slept in too late. I usually get up at about 6:30 - 7:00 am and take a shower, check personal email, etc before starting work at 8:00. And I had a conference call at 8:00. So when I woke up just a few minutes before 8:00, I tossed on my robe and rushed to my office - YAY for working from home! Over lunch I took my shower and got cleaned up. I had an 18-hour old whisker-beard I had to get rid of that's just starting to show in the pic.

I lit this with only the small window to my right and a white sheet of paper held at arms length to reflect a little light on the left side of my face.
