    CP,

    I am totally with you and inspired, even though I am not a huge fan of winter sporting events. We hosted these Olympics the last time around. At first, when we won the bid, I was extremely hesitant about the whole thing. However, when it was going on, I was completely in awe! It was crazy. The World's focus on so many diverse personalities packed into one city. Some of the events were less than a half mile from my home. The traffic and media were insane!!! My best of wishes to the USA and our friendly neighbors to the north,- Canada !!! I am curious to see women play hockey. That starts either tomorrow or Sunday.

    I thought Peter Gabriel's version of Imagine was pretty cool.

    Beat the crap out of the Super Bowl Opening Ceremonies. The jazzed up National Anthem sucked ass. Found it to be a bit disrespectful.

    I agree


    I am hoping to see a Canada/USA final in mens and women's hockey. Those are usually great close games that could go either way.
