Today, Thursday, could have been my day off. Instead I worked the bronze medal women's game and a bit of the gold medal game. Then... I found a 10th row seat near centre ice to spend the rest of the Gold medal game and join in the excitement of Canada's women blanking the USA 2 - 0.
Also, a lady who took a photo of me zip lining sent the pic to me so I am adding that to my blog. ENJOY
Sadly, only 3 shifts left but I am sure I will have some interesting blogging before I am done.
So tomorrow we will be on the edge of our seat as we watch Men's Hockey Semifinals, Curling finals for men and women and well as many others.
HOT OFF THE PRESS -JOANNIE ROCHETTE wins a bronze medal in ladies figureskating - now that is a courage young woman!
Moni and I have been watching on the flicky TV tonight and cheering on Canada with Meaghan, Pete and Olive. We're looking forward to hearing your live update tomorrow morning.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know what to expect before these olympics started but I never could have predicted the level of excitement, national pride and participation,local hospitality,athletic excellence or just the overall fun the people from all over the world are having.Pat, you showed wise decision making when you chose last year to apply for a position as volunteer in this incredible experience. The Old Spaghetti Factory has blown out of the water all sales records for meals served. That dates back 40 years and passes records previously set in Gastown's heydays of the 70's, Expo 86 and more recently, last year's World Police and Fireman Games.
ReplyDeleteThere is no way for everyone to be here but my bro Pat is performing an admirable and competent service in bringing his Olympic experience to those who haven't been fortunate enough to attend.Vancouver has represented you well.
A side note, it has been an honour hosting Pat and his friendly hockey insider for 3 weeks. It's been 36 years since we lived together and I'm glad we didn't have to share a bed this time around. (it would have been a snore-off)
