Gold, Silver, and Sunshine

I don't know if you have heard this complaint before, but who ever decided to host the Winter Olympics in a rain forest shouldn't be surprised the weather isn't cooperating. It's about 45 degrees in good ol' Whistler today. I can't imagine how warm it is even further south in Vancouver.

Tonight is Super Sunday, as the Canadian sports news anchors are calling it. The USA vs Canada in hockey. They are treating it like no other countries matter in the match up. Of course I hope we win, but if we do, I am hiding under my covers for the next few days. Canadians are generally easy going until you mess with their hockey, beer, and medicine.

I just overheard a guys conversation with I am assuming it's his wife. He was saying goodbye to the kids and one of them said, "Goodbye, uncle!"

He replied, "I'm not your uncle, I'm your dad."

Man, this guy has been up here too long. As fun as the Olympics are, it's about time they are over so we can all return to normal life. Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying myself and this is an experience of a lifetime, but you can have too much of a good thing.

This week was cool, in that we got to go to a medals ceremony, a few more concerts, and the weather has been really nice. Seeing those alpine skiers, lugers, and biathlon winners, makes me wish I had dedicated my life a little more to my passions so I could be standing on a stage accepting an award. But hey, winning $2,500 in an online video contest is a start, right?

Another week gone by and this entry feels a little more like senseless rambling. Things are well. The Olympics are alive and well. I am well. Keep watching those tight-clad athletes and cheering for your home team. As for me, Go USA, Go!
