The Olympic Torch

As Week 1 of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics comes to a close, I thought I’d share 10 things I’ve learned:

• There’s nothing funner than watching Women’s Moguls at the gelateria with your honey and an Amaretto and Sweet Vermouth cocktail.
• Pup is completely transfixed by the nightly pyrotechnics show. She better not start playing with matches.
• Trying to get into a free Wilco concert can be likened to being trapped below decks when the Titanic is going down- can be, but probably shouldn’t.
• George Clooney is as elusive as he is handsome.
• Forget patriotism- the whole world was rooting for Shen and Zhao.
• Colbert said it best- Canadians are chant whores.
• The Americans are cleaning up and Canadians are none to pleased, though you’d never know.
• Vancouver police humor themselves by doing the Hippie Hippie Stomp.
• Nobody rocks an Olympic team uniform like an Eastern European.
• There are distinct snickers among the media when there’s mention of Estonia.
• I guess you can have a Winter Olympics without snow.
