Good Morning, it’s Friday, 23 February 2018, and this is the Morning Edition of The Nightshift.
It’s winding down at the Winter Olympics. The Women’s figure skating medals were finalized last night and athletes from Russia took top honors, with Alina Zagitova winning the Gold and Evgenia Medvedeva taking the Silver. The two teenagers are 15 and 18 years old respectively. Russia could dominate women’s figure skating for several Olympics to come. Sweden won the Biathlon relay; the Netherlands won more gold in Speed Skating: Austrian Anna Gasser took the Gold in Snowboarding Big Air with American Jamie Anderson taking the Silver. The U.S. is in the Curling finals against Sweden with a chance to win Gold after an upset win over Canada. It’s almost over, but it’s fun (and a great relief from the not-so-good news from the “real” world).

The Daily Grope: The Governor of Missouri, Eric Greitens, is again under fire and, actually, under indictment: he has been charged with felony invasion of privacy for allegedly taking photos of a woman with whom he was having an affair. The Governor–recently elected and obviously ethically challenged–has said he won’t resign, but the people of Missouri may have a different point of view.
Today is National Toast Day. Jam is on the table. Butter and enjoy.
