Happy Olympics!
Well, the Olympics are here, wether I like it or not. After watching the torch being passed in my neighbourhood I've decided to get with it. Hey, I'll admit it: it WAS exciting to see Ed Robertson from The Barenaked Ladies! And my local Parks Board Commissioner gave me a pin! It doesn't take much to make me happy. Everywhere I go I am saying , " Happy Olympics!" and " Are these Olympics apples/oranges/pork chops?" I know it's a lot of money being spent...blah blah blah, but I can't do anything about that. It certainly wasn't my decision. And it's not my department. As I watched the opening ceremony last night, I found myself with tears in my eyes. Corny, but true. I guess I AM proud to be Candadian and if the 2010 Winter Games have to be somewhere, they might as well be here in beautiful Vancouver. I'm off to Granville Island to have a wander, wear my pin, and buy some Olympic tulips.
