Olympics coming to a close

A riveting final two days of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

I can not get enough.

Between curling, hockey, another skating show, and the closing ceremonies, perfect ending to a near perfect two weeks.

The snow made it possible for me not to feel badly about blowing off some necessary errands this weekend....instead, glued to the TV in between Church and visiting my Uncle in the hospital for the finals in curling......the AMAZING USA vs Canada hockey game and then an interesting closing ceremonies.

My Aunt and I were actually out to dinner keeping tabs on the Hockey game when it went into OT and then ended.....

Just in case, I also had a tape rolling back at home! Figured win or lose, well worth keeping for posterity!

I've seen better closing ceremonies ....there were lulls but what is always a joy is just seeing all the athletes come back into the venue with their newly made friends, taking pictures, all smiles, wearing or carrying their medals (even Joannie) enjoying their last night after giving their all!

I know come tomorrow morning, I will be in total Olympic withdrawal but have a rejuvenated spirit--not only towards being an American, but just being me and striving to be my best!
