The Call

I received a 10-4 call from my new best friend Jeff on October 6 (who's already in Vancouver) asking if I was still interested in working at " Les jeux Olympiques" chez Vancouver. I really didn't consider it a question! Oh, and by the way, happy birthday Laura (Oct. 7). I originally promised Jeff a beer the next time I see him but then I reconsidered and thought the best bottle of his favorite libation more appropriate.

Now some of you might be asking why am I using some french. It's only because I was going to Mont Tremblant with my family (on my summer vacation), closing out the golf season with our dear friends from Labelle, David and Michele. The trip could have been the worst one possible (although how could it be when you play golf 5 days out of 6) but as I told Jeff, that news made my holiday. Oh, and by the way, I did have two scores in the low 90's. That is pretty good for me even though David would qualify that as 93* and 94*. That's our inside joke for a couple of foot wedges we may or may not have used.

We are just now on our last night at Mont Tremblant and I feel that I need to get ready to leave for "Les jeux Olympiques" even though it won't be until November. Laura and Kristin said I would be going. My boss and my co-workers said I would be going. I guess I wouldn't let myself believe I would be going. We are all of us now just pumped!

I will be in Whistler at the Athlete's village. I'm thinking I would like to collect autographs from all the athletes I encounter (as long as they don't think I'm a stalker)! I just don't know what I should use. Kristin suggested a Canadian flag which I think is a pretty good idea, especially if it could be included in the closing ceremonies! I just don't know if I could carry it around with me all the time and if I could part with it for the closing ceremonies. Maybe I'm just getting ahead of myself. There's probably a code of conduct regulation for autographs, Canadian flags and even this blog!

I would really like to hear from you if you have a better idea, but for now I think I will have to go with the Canadian flag and losing it to make it's round at the closing ceremonies!
