Oh, Canadian PT Friends! I was thinking especially of you while watching the opening ceremonies! I had a pre-Valentine's Day supper at a restaurant with some friends, so all we got was pictures and closed captioning, no audio, but I still thought it was beautiful! When the young woman came out to sing the national anthem my friends and I all got choked up. It was a neat moment, all these people there from all over the world and now, here is the national anthem for the host country. All over the restaurant, people were clapping and cheering for the U.S. and Canadian athletes coming out in their groups. Seeing all those flags waving gave me goose bumps. And I love SArah MacLachlan, I love the Joni Mitchell song "Both Sides Now" and the aerialist was so cool! We couldn't quite make out what was happening with the violinists and tap dancers - audio would have really helped with that. Anyway, we were all watching it while we were eating. And I was thinking of my PT friends from all over the world.

A very sad moment when the Georgian team came out, though. Such sad news about their athlete today. I overheard one man in the restaurant say he wished he could rewind it 24 hours and have that accident not happen. Very, very sad.
