I enjoyed so much of this Olympiad, from the spectacular performances to the friendliness of the people of Canada. I especially enjoyed the first part of the closing ceremonies ... how funny was that? Catharine O'Hara's bit was so cool ... love how she came out with the curling schtick ... and her "slideshow" was pretty cool. Spoken like a mom to the nations. Especially liked how they paid a little tribute to the glitch at the opening ceremonies with the 4th leg of the "cauldron" not rising, then had Catriona LeMay Doan light it since she was unable to do so at the opening. Very clever.

Canadians are one tough and funny bunch of folks. And a very loving, wonderful people. We will miss the scenes from Canada, but thankfully my cable provider gets CBN (Canadian Broadcast Network, I think), so I can get a dose of the Canadian spirit whenever I need one, eh?

Nice job, Canada. Pat yourselves on the collective back. Ya done good, eh.
