Sorry -

Been holding off long enough. Kerry - did you partake in any of the mayhem? I've got friends in Van who said it was fantastic, and others who left town for 2 weeks...

I have to say I'm pretty impressed with our Canuckistan showing at the podium.

14 Gold medals is not too shabby

Indeed I did - took the family down into the craziness, and also had some fun gigs. This is last Friday (I'm on bass on the R).

I nearly bailed on Vancouver during this period myself, but in the final analysis I'm glad I didn't. Some stuff was pretty exciting, the weather was pretty decent, the city really never looked better.

I'll admit (grudgingly) that if one's tastes run to enormous corporate entertainments VANOC gave us a pretty good show. And given the small size of our population, 14 gold medals doesn't hurt. Very Happy Congrats to the US for a big haul in *overall* medals too!

yup, many congrats to my neighbors to the great (nearly) white north eh.

i had an opportunity to move to bc 40 years ago but was a bit short on the cash for some land purchase thing. so i guess i'm a bit of a canukistonian on the inside.
