It's been a busy few days here in Vancouver. I've been working like crazy and trying to fend off the flu. By the way - whatever is in oscillococcinum - it works! Twice now I've gotten fever and chills, taken this stuff and been fine. I fully endorse it and will always keep it in my "bag of tricks."
The pictures above, except for the daytime pic of the flame were taken from our apartment during the opening ceremonies. The flame is just to the right of the building with the green and blue lighted line. You can even see it during the day. Nice! There's a bit of controversy about the flame though. As you can see from the picture, there is a crappy fence around it. You can't get close and any picture you take of anyone in front of the flame has that crappy fence in it. Garbage! They are supposed to be "looking into it" to see if they can figure out what to do.
Collin has been involved in the Torch Parade at Grouse Mountain every night (picture tomorrow) and Sunday was absolutely gorgeous for walking around - too bad I was sleeping off my graveyard shift and missed it. Keith and Collin walked home from downtown Vancouver across the Lions Gate Bridge. They were beat after that trek. I have Friday off from every job I have (miracles do occur!) so I will be headed into town to visit the Aboriginal Center and see what else is happening.
Athletes I've seen in the last couple of days include J.R. Celski, Apolo Ohno, Shaun White, a few American bobsledders and many tipsy German snowboarders. I also saw Stefan Read, a Canadian ski-jumper. All these guys and girls look so young! Or, more possibly, I'm just old.
