I am feeling very Olympic today!

The title of the thread is from a Disney movie HAHA!

I am sitting here at my PC watching coverage of the Torch Relay on my TV. The Olympics open tonight in my hometown! WOOHOO!

And breaking news a Georgian luger died on the bobsleigh course during training today. That's what we get for building the longest and fastest track ever built.

I'm enjoying the Olympics - loved watching Apolo Ohno last night.  Ice skating tonight - loving it.  Opening ceremonies were great.  I love Brian Adams!!!

Amen to that Burnz. I have really gotten into it as well and at the moment am watching Women's Canada vs China. The strategy is very entertaining.

And yes kudos to Shaun White. I've never seen someone get so much air.

My niece is going to college in Bellingham, less than an hour from Vancouver, and she has been so excited for almost 18 months because she had tickets to see curling at the Olympics...cut to 2010- she had to sell her tickets - her sister got married this weekend--same dates as her curling tickets.  Bummer.

Shaun White was fantastic - he knows how to put an explanation mark to a gold medal!!

He was on the Colbert Report tonight. It was so neat to see Colbert in Vancouver, as well as interviewing BC's former Premier (equal to Governor in US system).
