On the Olympics.

Ok, ok, so it's not particularly related to parenting. But the Olympics just wrapped up, and Canada did phenomenally well! So well, in fact, that the IOC is actually considering removing Women's Hockey from the Games. Well, I have one thing to say to that: THBBBBT.

Seriously, though, in a Games fraught with problems ranging from the tragic to the bizarre, we made an incredible showing. Both the hockey teams ruled the ice, K-Mart brought home a gold in Curling (and hopefully, the skip on the women's team won't be reliving that last rock in the 10th end for the rest of her life), the Hamelin brothers were the fastest EVER, and an entire nation mourned with Joannie Rochette as she skated through her grief. It was a Games to remember, that's for sure.
