It's hard to believe that I've been here 12 days and that today is the 10th day of the Games. That being said yesterday was a quiet day for both me and the Canadian Olympic team. I did laundry and worked the 2 to 10 shift. Our Red and White group got taken to the cleaners in almost every event, but that's the nature of the Olympic Games ...they are always full of surprises!
Line of the Day - in the Laundry room I ask this 60ish guy how long the dryer cycle is. His reply, "you asked the wrong guy, this is only the 2nd time I've done laundry in 40 years."
The weather was gorgeous again yesterday and we are expecting more of the same for the next 3 to 4 days. I now have 3 days off and will spend it with my youngest sister and my 5 year old niece. They have a big chalet all to themselves in Whistler and it will save me 3 hrs of busing every day.
My highlight yesterday was transporting 2 extremely cute women's figure skaters from Estonia (one was a pairs skater and the other competes in singles next week) ...if I was 30 years younger I would be denouncing my Canadian citizenship today!!
Let's hope our hockey boys can beat the US this afternoon and that our athletes get back on the Podium today.

Last but not least, a big shout out to the T family, J and W who start their ski vacation in Kicking Horse today. Have a great day...
