Sky Train and Speedskating

Once again I find myself on the Sky Train en route to the Richmond Oval. Canada's Christine Nesbitt is favoured to win and the Sky Train s is packed with Canada flags. Try blogging on a Blackberry while standing on the Sky Train. My kids are sitting eating their lunch; I gave them eight minutes to down their sandwich. I can't afford anymore twenty dollar hot dog stops, I am saving my money for a great speed skating shirt for each of them. Anyway, after last nights hotdog induced indigestion my gut needs a break.

Wow, it would be amazing to see gold for Cananda at the Oval today. No pressure Christine. We are going to get off this train and literally sprint (actually with my leg I can only powerwalk) to the Oval. Yesterday we made the twenty minute walk in twelve minutes, passing hundreds of people on the way and cutting down the security line by twenty minutes. If you are coming to Vancouver bring your jogging shoes and don't bother with any other clothing but a red sweatshirt, jeans and a loud hat. My son is wearing a red and white top hat, which is surprising me because he is usually the shy understated one in the family. He is a non stop Olympic highlight real, sometimes getting the names wrong but never their places. He comes up with random facts like Alexandre Bilodeau is 75kg. No idea where he got that one but I will have to fact check it. So everybody hold their breathe - one of Canada's best chances for gold is coming up in one hour. --Silken
