~~~"WHOO...HOOOO"!
As some of you know I really love the game of Curling and now I am the proud owner of tickets to see the wonderful sport in action at the highest caliber of play in the world...2010 Winter Olympics.

Dear nephew who lives in Vancouver BC emailed me last fall and asked if I was interested in seeing the Curling and he invited me to stay with he and his family...well, I jumped at the chance.

Memories came gushing back of the day in the winter of 1988 when I carried the Olympic Torch with an old colleague who has since died. Sorry for digressing...

Back to the story...Nephew pointed out to me that the Curling Venue is just down the street from where he lives and so easy to get to. I have never been to Vancouver so you can bet I will be doing a lot of sight seeing while I'm away from the rink...that is if I can tear myself away from the TV and their fabulous coverage.

Today I was able to order three of the tickets for the Curling events and I am so happy....
Now I wonder if I will be able to confront a "Torch Bearer" and catch a little of the excitement I experienced in"88"...

Till next time...
