Peak to Peak Whistler



Photo Description: Middle of one of the Peaks, Whistler. Julie B., Clinton H. and I.

Went on the Gondola, one with an open glass bottom floor, from one peak to the other for this reason its called the "peak to peak" ...

Absolutely gorgeous, breathtaking, awe inspiring.

Went to the market and ate a dinner of chips, Guacamole, Salsa, raisins, Dasani, and carrot sticks. LISH AND TRISH! (Delicious and Nutritious).

A WONDERFUL day in Whistler, by far my favorite so far.

Spent with beautiful friends.

So much Audio So Little Time



Photo Description: Our Audio team... everyone in the audio mixing room, except for Devon! :( She was out running an errand. :) We were photographed for a magazine article in Canada, so after the photographer took our pic, since we had everyone there (ahhhh Devon!) I just had us all stay and took an extra photo... with MY camera. Good times!

Team Audio includes: Don S. Norm H. Devon T. (not pictured sadly!) Clinton H. Morgan S. (Me! Obviously.) Marta H. Borja S. Allan W. Malcolm J. Ken F. and Tim D.

We spend WAY too much time together. But we love it.

This audio team is brillant. That's all I have to say.

Ok ... so everyone's been saying we're more than halfway through our time at the Olympics .... and that makes me sad!

Laundry Money.

Doing laundry today... for the first time since February 1st! Gads! That's 22 days. I know, gross.

I Love A New Tube of Mascara...




Always meeting someone new at the Olympics ...
Most everyone I've met so far, are amazing people~!

Photo Description: Went to the "Amsterdam Pub" in Whistler Village after work and got my first order of "Poutine" I've ever had ... Cheese Curds on French Fries... Smothered with Gravy ... Thinking about it now makes me nauseous but at the time, it tasted fairly good. Such a Canadian thing. They just love it here in the Maple Leaf State. :)

One of the guys I work with, Rob B. is a big time videographer and snowboarder... His blog is: http://creativemindcontrol.blogspot.com/ and He is pursuing the most amazing opportunities literally all over the world! He told me about a new one yesterday but it's on the DL, so I can't explain here.

The Sliding Center events here at the Olympics have been going well -- everyone is so enthusiastic, especially when a Canadian slides. Skeleton is the most nerve-racking of them all because the slider lays on his stomach, his face just inches from the ice... a wreck means certain injury or death.

I love my roommate Vera, from Spain. Between her and her friends from Spain, as well as the two audio friends i've made on our team from Spain, Marta H. and Borja S. I have brushed up on my Spanish so much! I talk to them in Spanish as much as I can! It is such a learning opportunity!

Off to another day now at the Whistler Sliding Center here at the Olympics in Canada. Bobsled practice is the plan for today I believe. I want to hop in a Bobsled and slide down SO badly!

Whistler Skeleton... The Canadians won!

I bet you can guess how excited the feel around the village was... since the Canadian guy won the Skeleton WHOA~!

"Cheque, Please."

Dear World,

Just read this statement in an article I was browsing on a news site ... "...a rising star of evangelical Christianity...." What is wrong with that?

Come on!

Not *celebrit-ize* Christianity, please. I am pretty sure celebrity status actually goes against one of the things the bible teaches most-humility.

Ok, Thanks.

What is wrong with your Shoe?

I think that the Broadband or "bandwidth" or something ... whatever you call it, here at the Fairmont is overloaded ... because George Clooney is staying here! (****eeeeek! Gads!****) have not seen him yet, but he's staying at the same resort I am, how neat is that!

Anyway, my internet is so slow, I have no idea why!

Well, I think now i'll call the operator and ask for "george" :) Grins, surely its not that easy to get connected to the Clooney's room! But he's a Kentucky Native, so that's a story for WYMT! I should go LIVE!

:)
