Ending on a High Note

Well, it's official. The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games has ended. Canada may not have owned the podium, but we did own the top of it! Thanks to the storybook ending that the whole country wished for, Team Canada added another GOLD Medal to our total, making it 14! It's the most any country has won in the Winter Olympics! Hell yeah!!! Apparently, Canada's win yesterday in the Men's Team Pursuit at the Richmond Olympic Oval was the last race ever to be skated at the awesome venue. They're going to melt the ice and turn it into a fitness centre now. At least the ROO's ice ended on a high note with a GOLD Medal performance by Mathieu Giroux, Lucas Makowsky, and Denny Morrison. Way to go guys!!! Thanks to Jeff, I experienced the biggest party in the world. I was going to schedule my LA trip during the games and stay away from Vancouver all together. He advised me against making that decision. Due to his counsel, I have so many memorable moments of the Olympics like going down the zip-line over Robson Square! Thanks to Gayle's video, I was able to screen capture myself wearing the Canadian flag as I descended. These past 17 days were so unforgettable. I'm going to miss watching the Olympics and the fact that it was in our own city. It's hard to believe it's all over now. I'm kind of sad. :(
