Well done, eh

Walt took the weekend off to watch the last three days of the Olympics. First, congratulations to all who won medals, and more congratulations to those who tried, even though they hadn't a snowball's chance of winning.

Congratulations as well to the host country for organizing a first-rate games. Sure, there were a couple of hitches and glitches, but all the competitions were held, no security breaches occurred, and it looked like a good time was had by all.

It was nice, too, to see Canadians not taking themselves too seriously. Leaving aside the "own the podium" campaign and the whining of a few professional malcontents, there was a lot of "hoser humour" and general goodwill on display. And that's as it should be. Well done, Canada!
