Edith was the only Aussie woman track and field athlete to make the trip in 1928 and, of course, the Aussie team went by boat and the journey took 6 weeks. Edith was a sprinter who had never been out of Australia and was SO happy to be going and SO loved the new food on the ship that she just had to try everything! She told us that she put on close to two stone on the trip over and said 'I got to Amsterdam and could hardly run a step!' Happy Days! Can you imagine reaching the Olympic Games as sole representative of your country carrying an extra stone or two?

I'm giddy with excitement and can't wait to see Joni's ballet live. I'll be thinking of Wally (bless him for creating this place), Jim and all the other ol' timers. I've read this list daily since 1998 so I feel like I know ALL of you even though i rarely write. PattiP I've loved your postings for years and totally relate to your JoniOCD. My husband and grown daughters make fun of me too. So I just wanted everyone on the list to know 'll be carrying the love and laughter of all you wonderful kindred spirits into the Paramount Theater with me Tuesday night. Happy happy joy joy. I haven't felt this kind of electricity since my solo pilgrimage to Saskatoon for Joni's Art exhibt at the Mendel. Giddy indeed. Like Dorothy said in the Wizard of OZ : There's no place like Joan.

What a great accomplishment!! You could tell everyone was very happy for her. I love to see athletes excel in sports that are not typical for their countries. Remember the Jamaican bobsledding team a few years back? That was fantastic. I was also surprised to learn that champion snowboarder Shaun White grew up training in Big Bear in our local mountains outside L.A.! For those familiar with that area, it is considered kind of a joke to the serious snow snobs but he just went ahead and made the most of what he had available. I love watching the Olympics - don't care what anyone says. I never get tired by them and am always awestruck by the talent.

I don't know if it's the water in Canada---but everyone seems to be having fun. Highlights: Lysacek, Mens Skate, what a classy guy after all the whining from the Russians he stayed above it all during an interview. Gets my "Class Act" award. Petra Majdic, Slovenia, Cross-Country sprint, gutting out the bronze with 4 broken ribs and a punctured lung sustained from a warm up run prior to the event. If anybody ever had a broken/cracked rib knows, there is intense pain every time you breathe. Last I heard she was still in the hospital. Gets my "toughest Olympian" award. Julia Mancuso, USA, Alpine Skier, 2 Silvers. She was happy just to be participating in these Olympics, let alone garner two silvers. Gets my "Good to Be Alive" award. Shawn White-----OUTSTANDING!! Even with plaids and jeans he gets the "Coolest Olympian" award. Bode Miller, Alpine Skier. Understands now how special the Olympics really are. Gets my "Comeback" award. Hannah Kearney, Ladies Moguls. 1st Gold Medal winner for the USA---- Redemption from the Turin Games and laid down a sick fantastic run when she had to. Easily gets my "You Did It" award. Al in all I'm quite pleased with all the Olympians--their behavior, intensity, and professionalism. They are all something very special. I live in California and can't understand why I have to watch taped action from the day's events on NBC. I wished I could get Canadian TV---broadcasting everything live. take care, gene - ----- Original Message ----- From: To: "Mark-Leon Thorne" ; ; "Catherine McKay" Sent: Saturday, February 20, 2010 12:24 PM Subject: Olympics njc >I was so happy to see Australian Torah Bright win the gold!

One of the directors of my department at work is Canadian and it is a tradition at Christmas time for the department to go curling. They form teams and the teams choose costumes. The year before last was cancelled because of the snow and awful road conditions in Seattle and I heard the place was booked solid this last December because of practice for the Olympics. I could be wrong about that though. I have only been to this event once. Actually, it was kind of fun. You practically end up laying on your belly on the ice when you finish pushing your stone down your lane. I think I was able to at least get my stone across the 'far hog line' each time and did manage to get it in the 'house' (circle on the ice at the far end) at least once or twice. I didn't sweep because it would involve too much bending at the waist and that would have been too much strain on my bad back. There is actually a movie about a fictional curling team called 'Men With Brooms'. We were shown parts of it as the game was explained to us. It's kind of like playing shuffle board on ice. So I have actually 'curled'.

It's the kind of touchstone that I play on holidays, when I'm sick, or I'm doing taxes. "RAM" gets played on special occasions I guess. I really like the medleys and false endings. Doing my taxes, Jim I wasn't sure of the plural form of medley so I looked it up. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Feb 2010 20:56:44 -0500 From: Subject: Re: Olympics njc OMG, just saw the end of the 30K (even though Vancouver is in our time zone, we get it delayed here on West Coast). AMAZING! Congratulations to the Swedes - what an effort. And how cool that the King of Sweden was there to celebrate! Amen to everything Gene said about the winners so far. Evan Lycasek is a total class act and a real cutie hunk, too. Reminds me a bit of a young handsome Dean Martin ;-) I'm always partial to the Winter Games but these have been particularly exciting. Wish I could be there.
