U-S-A! U-S-A!

Forty-six years to the day… was slightly before my time, so seeing the famed “Miracle on Ice” has been for me only on tape delay. (I suppose that was the case for everyone though, eh?)

It had been nearly half a century since the U.S. Men’s Olympic hockey team won gold, and in fact it had never taken home gold, as both previous victories have come on U.S. soil. (Well, ice.)

Yesterday was quite a moment for Team U.S.A. and I’ll always be happy to say I saw nearly every moment of the match.

Experiencing miracles before noon. That’s a Sunday morning well spent.
