The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming!

Well, actually, the Russians are here! Walking around in their cool orange-ish and white uniforms. They all look like coaches to me, though.

I saw lots of Americans in my portal today. I had a regular day shift so I was busy all day. Most of the Americans I saw were team support people, but I said "Go USA!" anyway. I think one was a snowboarder, but I don't know who they are (except for Shawn White) so lets just say I didn't see any American athletes today.

It was a beautiful day here and the sun was out for a while. Too bad I was inside an old barn with an X ray machine and lots of police.

As I was headed to lunch, I saw a gaggle (?) of Swedes headed away from me. Is it a gaggle? What do you call a group of Swedes?

There was also a dress rehearsal for the opening ceremonies today at the stadium. I had to fight the crowds in the SkyTrain on my way home after work. And as I saw the hordes surging into the stadium through the portals, I thought about how lucky I am to be working at the Athlete's Village instead of one of the venues. And, best of all, my boots are finally broken in!
