Everyone who reads this blog, my entire family, and all of my friends near and far know that I am a big Apolo Ohno fan. I say the name "Apolo" a hundred times a day as I talk to my now 5 year old Golden Retriever who we named after the speed skater following the 2002 Olympics.
The real Apolo is still skating. For the record, he recently won another National Championship and came in third in the World Championships in Milan just two weeks ago. I guess all of this interfered with his newest gig--dancing. Apolo is now a contestant on the TV reality show, "Dancing With the Stars."
Dave and Kaley and I watched it on Monday night. Dave even sat in front of the TV with his lap top and started voting the minute it was allowed! Kaley, who used to be in love with N Sync and Apolo, enjoyed watching both Joey Fatone and Apolo Ohno dance. My own opinion is that Seattle's Apolo is just dripping with charisma and I look forward to watching each week that he is still on.
Our local paper indicated that Apolo's father Yuki flew to LA to be in charge of his son's rather wild and curly mane of hair. Probably, he is thrilled to death to watch the whole thing in person.
Go Apolo and Julianne!

Addition: Here is the link to Youtube where you can watch the Cha-Cha on Dancing With the Stars---just in case you missed it. And frankly, ladies, Apolo on ice in a tuxedo........??!! You gotta see.

Oh! He's the "Yuki" of "Yuki's Diffusion" then.
Does the dog skate as well?

Yes, Phil, that's "the" Yuki.
No, my Apolo is frightened of the frost we get on the deck. When it is slippery out, he likes me to come out and help him--the 90 lb baby.
Janet, he did GREAT, especially for a first week with such limited rehearsal time! I predict that boy's gonna be around for the long-haul on DWTS. It was such fun to watch him, and knowing that you and your family (along with the better part of Seattle) were undoubtedly also glued to the tube made it even more enjoyable. I'm sure his already well-earned fan base will keep him in the running for a good long time; if all goes well, maybe even down to the top two. Go Apolo!!!!
