It’s finally here: 08-08-08 and I almost can’t believe my eyes as I flip on my “pre-programmed to be on the Olympics 24/7” TV in the main room. It is shortly after 9am and the XXIX Olympiad opening ceremonies are … still on. Hooray
I only managed to catch the Chinese team entering the Bird’s Nest (I really would’ve liked to see all the Canadian athletes…) but it was just enough to satisfy my Olympic craving. The proceedings came complete with a harnessed Chinese athlete running around the entire inside upper wall of the stadium en-route to light the flame. As I sat there still wrapped in a blanket a warm feeling like no-other rushed over me. I remained wide-eyed and snuggled up in front the glow of that Olympic flame until the ceremonies came to a close.It’s official – my pilot light is lit.
