Wow! What a day it was yesterday! The day started with my first visit to BC Cancer Agency and my (extremely nice) oncologist. He gave me a lot of info about my upcoming radiation therapy, which will start in mid-March...but blah blah...no need to talk about that right now!
So I was home for a little while and then got a call from Mark to say I could have a last minute ticket to see gold-medal ice-dancing...if I wanted it?!?! (silly, silly question). So he came home early and off I went....and Canada won! It was amazing to actually be there. Thanks so much to my friends Paul and Suzanne!
During the national anthem...the crowd was singing at the tops of their voices!
What an experience. The stadium was a sea of red and white (and Canadians are not usually so given over to massive displays of patriotism). I feel so lucky. Unfortunately, my camera couldn't catch all the red...but trust me...it was there!
And now I have just be given tickets (courtesy of one of Mark's bosses) to the Ladies short program tonight. Brilliant seats. I'm taking my sis. Mark's been coming home early so that I can take off to the Pacific Coliseum. These opportunities have been simply fantastic! And I am learning. Event number 3...
do take a water bottle ($4 a bottle inside)...
don't take bag (security headache)...
do take camera...! I am very excited. The Olympics is an event like no other. I had no idea.

Our neighbours are Paul and Suzanne... If they gave you the tixs, you'd best not tell Meesch as there will be some pretty bad blood on our block...
Ha! It's a different Paul and Suzanne...really!
Thanks sooooo much, Vic, for taking me along to the women's short program tonight & many thanks to Mark (& Mark's boss) for the tix. Great event and an outstanding show of strength, passion and determination from Joannie Rochette, got me quite choked up.
