Okay, I’m here, in Vancouver, and I promise to blog about the Olympics. Yeah! Okay, so I’m a positive person when it comes to the Olympics. I know some people are saying they shouldn’t happen but…I think it’s wonderful to celebrate those who have worked hard at something. Why should we hold people back from being successful? Anyway, I don’t really want to talk about that now because if you read my blog you will only get the positive spin on the Olympics and tidbits of info about the Games.
I’m going to the Opening Ceremonies tonight and will tell you all about them tomorrow. Who is singing, who will light the cauldron?? I also managed to have a drink (red wine) with Wayne Gretzky the other night and he was thrilled to be “one” of the few in the running to light the cauldron. He totally enjoyed meeting Barbara Ann Scott and said she is absolutely beautiful, and at the age of eighty she didn’t have a wrinkle on her face. What a classy woman! She won a medal in 1948! The energy in the city of Vancouver is buzzing and the excitement is mounting for the games to begin. I walked down the Sea Wall with a volunteer the other day and she was animated and excited to be helping and, really, these events do work because of the volunteers!
So…tomorrow, I’ll tell you about the Opening Ceremonies and…Molson’s Hockey House.
