Are you watching the game. All Canada is... The Canadians and Russians are duking it out on the ice. Canada is ahead and has been throught out the 3 periods . But the game is not over yet and you can never count the Russians out. The score is 7 to 3 for us. We prayed hard to win and are still on our knees LOL. Of course nothing in Canda is more exciting for us than hockey and nothing is more important.
However Joannie Rochette has won all our heats with her gutsy performance last night in the women's free skate just 2 days after her mom died at the aiport of a heart attack. She was coming from Quebec to see Joannie perform. It was a stunning performance and our hearts were weeping with her as she skated. She was third/bronze medal in her short programme. After the skate was over she broke down and sobbed with grief. She had not been able to do that for the two days prior to the skate and it just came gushing out. I don't think there was a dry eye in Canada. What a magnificent woman and an magnificent athlete.
Lots of celebrities in town and they can be seen in the restaurants, Wayne Gretsky causes a huge sensation wherever he turns up. Cindy Crawford was seen at Chambar and Glowbal eateries.
I love this story, the "top dogs won't get 'board' on the local slopes" says Vancouver Sun. An English Bulldog who rides the snowboard and is famous for a U Tube video is looking to ride the slopes , either Grouse or Cypress Mountains. Nothing has yet been agreed upon but the owner says they will crash some mountain so watch for it folks. I can't wait!!And the dogs are proof that even small, fat ,ugly dogs can be true athletes LOL
Hurrah!!! Canada won 7 to 3 way to go Canada. Off to the next round. Too many rounds to my liking. I want quick results.
Night folks.
