So in case you're missing any Olympics coverage, my godson Connor and his friend Henry have started their own website.

Connor is very much a numbers guy and enjoys figuring out the answer to such questions one might think about such as: "In the history of the winter Olympics, what country is the most winningness." (A: Norway). Apparently this involved legal pads, totals of all sports, all countries, in the history of the winter games.

A couple weeks ago during International Game Night, we played How Well Do You Know Me. Turns out Connor's favorite thing - favorite over puzzles, miniature golf, and the World Series - is 'getting up early.' What Connor does when he's up early is search sports scores on his mother's computer.

Since he is 9, I have been reduced to 'standing hugs' with him - meaning, I hug him, and he stands there, arms down. At some point I started complaining about the lack of affection and he told me that I could get a real hug every 6 months. The other day I spontaneously got a hug from him and he told me it was the 6 months mark.

He keeps track of things like that...

Part of his Christmas present is dinner, movie, sleepover and sports stats clinic with me (the last part was his addition). Due to some 'scheduling conflicts', we haven't had our date yet.

Can't wait to test my new knowledge out at some cocktail parties.
