Lots of navel gazing going on today after our hockey team's loss to Team USA last night. In my opinion, hockey is no longer exclusive to Canada but to the whole world. Those days for us to be the champions at all times are gone and the world has grown up. We need to too, we are no longer entitled to that hockey gold. Sure it still might happen in Thursdays' game against the US but if it doesn't we will
still have a Silver. No need to turn up our collective noses at that .
Now I am off the podium to paraphrase a catchy phrase.
The women's hockey is so far a good game for Canada, no losses there. We will care about women's hockey if they bring home the elusive gold. If not another silver. Go girls go!
It is so mild here that people are out golfing in their shirt sleeves at Squamish , 30 minutes by car from Whistler. The picture on TV tonight was a dream scene with the golfing green in the foreground and the snow covered peaks of the mountains in the background. It was breathtaking. As pictures of this part of the world often are.
The Olympic standings at the moment are USA first, Germany second, Norway third and Canada fourth. Not that shabby!
Want a hug, there's a line up for that....Two 23 year old Vancouver residents are offering free hugs during the Olympic games, I think there's a market for that LOL. Many are taking advantage of the offer. I love that spirit of making people feel great. Most think the hugging camaign is awesome Yeah!
Off the podium for tonight! Until tomorrow...
