I just love all the pretty gals from all over the world.

And the dancing and the international goodwill and all that is great too.

I'm sure it will be there. They need something more than a sign that's for sure.

What happened today is tragic - and my sincerest condolences go out to his family, friends and teamates - still, the games must go on.

I think they said something about them getting their monday, but they may have been talking about something else. Not sure why they bother. Everyone knows Canada rules in hockey.

Status: offline 		What would you have them do?  Cancel the olympics?  That does not seem feasible.  I"m sure many people are upset over his death.  But as a casual observer, it seems obvious that some of the sports are risky at best.

Oh, I don't Doubt that there will be lawsuits, - and possibly even criminal charges (not likely but possible) - but I'll leave that up to the apropriate officals.

I love Celtic dancing - it is so diciplined yet energetic, and at times even primal, at the same time.

I have to admit, though, that while watching the shadow guy on the Moon I thought: Oh look, Batman is playing the fiddle and dancing a jig.
