Olympics 2014

Well, as I sit in my living room thinking I should post something on my blog today since the kids are at the grandparents and I just simply feel like writing, here it goes:  The Olympic games!

Don't get too exited about what I have to say.

Looks like Canada is doing really well.  As it stands right now we have 4 Gold, 6 Silver and 4 Bronze medals.  I'm going to be honest here, I think it's the Olympics are amazing and I support it 100%.  I was a kinesiology grad and love sports, so why wouldn't I?  Thing is, as much as I try to get into it, I just can't.  I think it's so nice to see everyone at work watching women's hockey and get exited about all the other details and accomplishments that were seeing.  Our athletes are doing an amazing job representing us and I think it's great.  I try to get more into it but I'm beginning to accept the fact that it's just not going to happen.  I can't stand watching hockey - no matter who's playing or what level of competition it is for.  The ski & board jumps are neat.  I find curling so boring to watch.  I thought the ballet during the opening ceremonies was cool!  …. See what I mean.   I think I will simply continue supporting the hype, have a general idea on the highlights of the events and standings and be content with that.  

I suppose coming from a father who preferred performing in sports rather than watch them, I took on the same behaviour.   So there we go… not my fault.

Anyway, for those of you hard core Olympic followers, please understand that just because some of us may not watch every sport and keep track of every story and medal we gain, it doesn't mean we don't care.  Go Canada!
