- Seeing people achieve their dreams is very inspiring
- Hearing about censorship, fakes at the opening ceremonies and sweeping violent crimes under the rug by the Chinese government is depressing
- Switching back and forth between the Canadian and American networks coverage of the games is entertaining
- Reading/hearing all of the negative comments about the Canadian medal performance in the first week of the games swing to support and celebration after several great days and performances in a row is pretty ridiculous.
- I love Simon Whitfield for putting it out there that he wanted to be on the podium, almost forcing Triathlon Canada to put up or shut up and celebrating when it all came to fruition...how Uncanadian of him :-)
- I never look forward to the Olympics at all and then get swept up in watching for the entire two weeks every single time
- I have picked up many, many Olympic boyfriends including but not limited to Michael Phelps, Adam Van Koeverden and Alexandre Despatie
You are welcome for the gratuitous photos

Why Michael Phelps? Because he won 8 medals? Although the feet is impressive, don't get me wrong but its difficult to compare the accomplishments of a swimmer to the rest of the Olympic sports, there are few other sports (perhaps track & field) where someone can compete in so many events without moving out of his specific area of expertise. Don't get me wrong, Michael is an AMAZING, OUTSTANDING, SHOCKING, etc. etc. swimmer but can we really compare a swimmer to say a marathoner??
Just let me say, I wouldn't kick Alexandre out of bed for eating crackers, he's dreamy
Why Michael Phelps?!? I don't even know how to respond to that :-). Just so you know, all 7 of us at the cottage claimed him as our boyfriend...we figured one for each day of the week.
Heather, don't forget to hand Michael off to me on Saturday morning after your Friday night date! This bf sahring thing is going really well so far! :)
