I watched the opening ceremonies of the Olympics last night -- very proud to be Canadian. My daughter (22) and her friends found it to be incredibly boring --but I was happy enough . It is so sad that the event was overshadowed by the death of the Georgian luge racer. See mom? that's why I don't toboggan (I have never liked going fast downhill -- I don't toboggan or ski -- even riding my bike downhill makes me nervous!)GO CANADA!!!!

You wonder why "Downhill all the way" is so exhillarating, and Making it after all, is exhausting.?
But resting on laurels,,, a-h-h-h
savouring the moment.....................
Cheers! Mom
I'm with you on the downhill fast thing. I need to hold on to something!

It is VERY different watching the coverage from down here in the U.S. There is very little excitement and/or enthusiasm about the Olympics here in Florida from what we can see and read. I guess because this isn't exactly a hotbed for winter sports LOL
We did watch the opening ceremonies last night here on NBC and overall I was impressed with it. I disliked our anthem though -- way too drawn out and not stirring at all. Odd melody and arrangement. So sad about the Georgian athlete too; a terrible reminder about the inherent danger in so many sports.
Go Canada! :-)
