Olympic Digest 2/15/2010

Well that was a bummer, my blog disappeared and now I have to start all over again.
My day started with a good laugh from an American snowboarder, Nate Holland. We have a slogan that says Own the Podium, Holland asks if the Americans can "rent the podium" from the Canadians. I also like Shaun White with his long hair and huge ever present grin.
Seth Wescott won Gold for the Americans in snowboarding and we won Silver with Mike Robertson, so the Americans rented the podium :>))
However we do have a Gold,2 Silvers and 1 Bronze. Not bad for us for the first couple of days . Alex Bilodeau is receiving his Gold at this very moment.. I cried.
Joe Biden's motorcade was involved in a crash going out to UBC to attend the US women's hockey . Peggy Fleming and Vonetta Flowers were both slightly injured. I'm glad to hear that not much damage occurred to the women.
Still way too warm here , normally a good thing but not this year. Cancellations on Cypress bowl today. Such a shame!
The weatherman will no cooperate.:<(
The sweetest moment of the day was when a little 4 year old boy with bright red hair sang O Canada. It was just adorable!!
Ujjal Dosanjh , a former B.C. Premier and now a Federal MP will be on the Colbert Report later this month. Apparently he has acquitted himself well....Colbert says he is great and completely gets the show. Who Knew LOL.
