I am certainly looking forward to the 5 minutes of actual sports to break up the 55 minutes of human-interest bullshiat in any given hour of the TV coverage.

The rumor is that Rush will play.
Supposedly "Closer to the Heart". Hope so.
Pretty cheap round, so far!

No, but I'll be in Vancouver sometime the week of March 8-12 for a Tech Scout for a TV Pilot. Can I take a raincheck on the beer?

Slight chance I'll be there around that time too. I'll surely be in Seattle and Bellingham that week. I want to try to get to Vancouver too.

Watch CBC coverage, if you get it on satellite. Far better than NBC's, or whoever's carrying it in the states.

When it was first announced several years ago, we thought we'd make it a family trip. Then a year or so ago I looked into ticket prices and hotel prices. No way. As much fun as it would be, we could do Europe, first class all the way, for 2 weeks, for less.

The calm, before the storm.
B.C. Place (opening ceremony) in background.
The Quebec "house" is the white structure to the right.





Here is the Russia "house":

Is that really a shot of the area TODAY?

Why are you holding the SUMMER games in February?

The pics are from 3 days ago.
The majority of the outdoor winter events are being held in Whistler.
Nasty start, with the luge thing.

Edit: beyond nasty, it turns out.

THere are still some tickets available.
Some of the events are not expensive.
Downtown will be 1 big party. Lots of free entertainment.
