Watching NBC Olympics & Paralympics team figure skating event and my heart goes out to all of the Olympians competing in this difficult but necessary climate due to the pandemic, in front of a near empty arena. At home watching, the music sounds like it’s coming from a shoe box. Still, I love.

Women’s sports rule. Just watched New Zealand athlete overtake the USA’s top snowboarder in third run to win Olympic slopestyle gold, and it was like they all won.

So tragic. Happening now at Oakland Hills Country Club in Bloomfield Hills, MI

Mellow yellow: cleaning out decades of reporting notebooks and came across this in my ‘98 Nagano Oly box. Boy, that was a busy year for me in the lead up before those Games for ⁦⁦Freep Sports⁩ as Tara Lipinski⁩ was hands down our biggest story

Tragic situation still unfolding at mass shooting at Michigan State, where at least 5 victims taken to a local hospital. So many unconfirmed reports out there. Most accurate among local networks on the scene Māra MacDonald and Local 4 WDIV Detroit

Some people get flowers for Mother’s Day. I get olive oil, good balsamic - and this year - pavilion tickets to see Dierks Bentley for my first concert of the season, which I’m using tonight!

Jo-Ann Barnas Thank you for following the #Auschwitz Memorial. Auschwitz is a place that shows where hatred, antisemitism and contempt for a fellow man led people decades ago. It is also a place where we should reflect on our individual and collective responsibility for the world

As much as I miss my previous career, with 9 Olympics under my belt as a journo - 7 with ⁦Detroit Free Press⁩ - it is the friendships on the beat that I miss the most, truly. So I will be following ⁦Christine Brennan⁩, ⁦Scott Bregman⁩ and ⁦Ann Killion⁩ as I, well,chill
