Thanks Aliya,

Now I feel obligated to have a Sochi blog. If not, at least a dozen people will feel So Cheated.

Thanks Krista. It’s as if the Canadians designed their suits to accentuate the mooseknuckles and cameltoes even more than the other athletes. If I bring back my blog in 4 years, it’ll likely be titled “Mooseknuckles n’ Cameltoes”. In fact, I better go park that URL.

Thanks for keeping it real in Calgary.

Hey there! Just wanted to tell you I LOVED your blog! I am going to miss it over the next four years. Thanks for making me laugh even harder than the mooseknuckles did while watching speed skating each day. You’ve made my Olympics hilarious and made me feel like I was there.
Sincerely,
A fellow Calgarian who loves good jokes.

JB I have to say that your blog gave me the inside track and made me so much more connected to our Olympics. Thank you for this blog. Your passion and your articulate writing ability (made me feel as though I was at the same events as you) and your humour…actually made my Olympic experience that much better. Thank you! (I’d insert lots of emoticons but know you hate them). I really do hope we see you in 2014. I’ll be looking for your Sochi blog.

More evidence of Plushenko putting a big masculine Grrr back into Figure Skating.

Those women have my respect.
The grueling training with virtually no recognition, respect or support from the public, media or traditional means of Olympic funding.
I would purchase more than one calendar not only on the principal of supporting out team. The ladies are mature and not afraid of firearm. No denying either the team are wonderful mix of being beautiful, bold and yet reserved.
I have to wonder who suggested the calendar idea to the team first?
