Did any of you see the piece Tom Brokaw just did? 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland. Absolutely magnificent. Talk about LES.
I read a book about those events - read it twice actually.

I'm looking to see if it's going to be shown again. It's about 45 minutes long.
There is a book, The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland, by Jim Defede, describing the events that Brokaw mentions. You can check it out here. I've read it twice; sent a copy to my brother who never reads anything - but he read this one in 2 days.
If I find a link to the Brokaw piece, I'll post it.

Canada has 13 freakin' GOLD MEDALS! And we are third in the medal tally with 25, after Germany and USA.
I think in Turn we got a total of 4 medals? Or was that in Calgary? I know we didn't do well in either location.
wow....

I'm Canadian......eh?
I told you all that we know how to handle a stick.
The US team didn't make it easy for us. Congrats for playing a great game and you should be proud.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

What an awesome hockey game! I would have liked to have seen USA take the gold, but I love that Crosby got the game winner. I'm sure all of his haters are upset about that too, which just makes it sweeter

Woohoo, what a great game! Our players (the Blackhawks' Toews and Kane) each scored! On the early news they talked to Hawks fans at the ESPN Zone in downtown Chicago, where there was a game-watching party. Most people said what an exciting, fun game it was. One man said it was very hard to root against Canada. One woman said she wasn't rooting against either team because there are Hawks players on each team. I like that approach. First goal I was like, Goal -Toews! Yeaah! - oops, wait... They interviewed Sidney Crosby after the game and he looks like he's about 16. (I know he's older than that!) I could watch the entire game again. Wish I'd taped it! They showed it without commercials except during the intermissions.
Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.
I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!
Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!
