I'm having a grrrr moment. They are doing a streaming video of the Olympic Torch Run all across Canada. Well, the run left the town to the west of us, Collingwood, and when it reached our town, Wasaga Beach, the video cut out!!! (we're having a snow storm right now so I guess it can be understood) but golly gee, I was soooo looking forward to seeing it on video since I couldn't see it in person (bad cold) Oh well, I'll just have to watch it on tv tonight - it won't show our town but the next largest city, Barrie

Sorry you couldn't see it as it happened. I remember how exciting it was when the torch made it's way through Utah. Like you I didn't get to see it in person but enjoyed watching on TV. It was fun to see some of the spots I recognized and realize that people all over the world were seeing them as well. Hope you enjoy your Olympics as much as we here in Utah did.

So sad when that happens. I remember when it came through here a few years back. It was so exciting. Ours was for the summer games so it was nicer out.
