The Olympics are Here!

After years of waiting, the Olympics are finally here in Vancouver! (Am I allowed to say “Olympics?”) Thanks to you, 86 goats were purchased for donation before the Olympics even began! That’s $2967 worth of goats. Great job!

Yesterday got off to a tough start with the luge accident, but it was great to see the Georgian team get a standing ovation when they walked into the Opening Ceremony. Other than that, the Olympics have been great so far. I have put the rest of life on the back burner as I am just so excited for these Olympics. Last night I looked out the window and saw what looked like someone stealing my car. Then I looked at the TV and saw that the Olympics were on. Who needs a car anyways?

Jennifer Heil won Canada’s first medal tonight in the womens moguls. It would have been great to see her take home a gold but a silver medal is nothing to sneeze at. For all you people who are allergic to silver.

Tomorrow at 1:00 PT in the afternoon the fasted speed skating women in the country will try and win the first Canadian gold medal on Canadian soil… It will actually be on Canadian ice, but everyone keeps saying “Canadian soil.” So we’ll hope for a gold medal tomorrow. And along with it, more goats. I just really want to see that goat-o-meter explode.

There are a few Goat For Gold t-shirts still available on time for the Olympics. Extra Larges have sold out, but other sizes are available. I wore my Goat For Gold shirt around today and people just said, “Wow… he looks great.” And that definitely had everything to do with the shirt.

I love goats.
