Its been a week and probably everyday I say at least once, I can't believe we didn't go and experience it! I've never been a total Olympic craze, but for some reason this year I'm into it. I know several athletes on a personal bases so I make a point of watching them race or whatever the case may be. I work with Mike for the skeleton team so our department is all decked out with Olympic stuff to support him. Every time I have the TV on I wish i was in whistler watching sports and drinking beer hahaha.
On the other hand I can't say I was impressed with the opening ceremonies. I was going to Blog about it right after but instead I gave it a break and thought about it. I've watched other opening ceremonies and they seemed so elaborate and out of this world. Ours seemed a step below, it seems like Canada is always just a step below in things like that, like one level behind. I felt the Goth violinist wasn't a great "Canadian" trophy with his tattoos etc. K.D Lang was great but I felt there were WAY better artists they could of choose for that song. O'well, just my opinion I guess. I'm sure if I was sitting in the stands I would of thought different...and just a side note, Gretzky must of froze his Toosh off, where was his Canadian toque when he was holding the torch in the back of the truck..yeeeesh!
This week has been a good one, I've done almost everything I have planned to except wash my car, we got TON'S of snow yesterday and it was really wet so i might put that on hold. Our friends are coming in tomorrow and we are skiing on Saturday. I hpe my knee holds up, since thats how I bunged it up in the first place!
Today I'm going to meet my friends week old baby, and getting my hair done!
Wayne Gretzky freezing his toosh off? It is so warm here, we barely have snow on the mountain in North Van, we had to haul it down from the higher mountains, the snow machines can't opporate unless its freezing temparature which it isn't even close. THe Olympics here in Vancouver is very political. People are acting like children over the 6 billion price tag which we truthfully will be paying for forever. But I think the opening ceramonies was diverse, the producer of it was Australian, he did the Sydney games. He has been on local t.v here quit a bit. I enjoy your blog!
