Home Talk with Dick

This will be the last week I talk about the Olympics for four years (unless we’re really doing great in the summer session two years from now). Wow, that was one heck of a hockey game! I think I could feel the house move a little as everyone in Canada stood up at the same time and screamed at the top of their lungs when Canada won. Crosby really came through in the crunch! 

I thought the closing ceremonies were just Okay. I liked the way they took a shot at the organizers for not getting the arm to come up at the opening. That was kind of funny. But then they went on and on about beavers, Mounties, and all the other things ‘Canadian’, and after a while it wore a little thin. Of course I’m of the generation where Neil Young and Michael Buble fit very nicely and I enjoyed all their songs. The rest of it was well received by everyone younger than me.
 
I guess to sum it all up – well it was a golden time for Canada, with 14 gold’s to show for our athlete’s efforts; a record which I feel will be hard to break. But the best part of the Olympics was the compassion and emotions of young people who had worked so hard to accomplish greatness in their field.  Some, of course, had to work through the loss of loved ones and some drew strength from others who had special needs themselves. It was a tremendous eye opener for all of us. Finally we all knew what “Go Canada” really meant.
