Olympic roundup

I am back. Forgive me one and all but it has been close to two weeks since my last post. I have been very busy. I got to host a bar mitzvah. That is correct, the Lad, did it. All the credit has to go the Wife, though. I did shit all, except for my speech and the liquor (what else is new). My speech rocked and I did receive many compliments. Apparently, long time friends did not realize that I can write, articulate my thoughts and feelings in a kind and humorous manner and come off, not as arrogant, angry asshole, but as compassionate loving father and husband. Actually, I did not know I had that in me either.

That explains my absence for the past two or so weeks. It had nothing to do with the ongoing Olympics in Vancouver. Though, it is the Olympics, especially the closing ceremonies, that is the subject of today's post.

Did any of you catch the closing ceremonies? I am watching and struck by the huge, inflatable beavers. I am thinking that nothing says "Canada" like huge, hairy beavers. Am I wrong on this one? Is my mind in the gutter (yes, and it is all part of my charm)? Either way, I think somebody should have seen that one coming....Canada represented by huge, hairy beavers. At least they were not split, but to be honest, I much prefer a shaved beaver. That is just me and my preference, though beaver is beaver any way you slice it or split it.

Ciao!
