It’s time again for the Olympics to kick off into full force.  Already as I write this, the athletes have been hard at work for the past two days competing for gold on the world stage.  Every two years, the games present a wonderful opportunity to forget about politics and focus on a much more wholesome form of competition.

Of course, Vancouver has more to offer than just a collection of top athletes.  Their opening ceremony was also pretty interesting, and I particularly loved the lighting of the torch.  And then there was the fiddler in the canoe who fought against his own shadow.  Or, perhaps I should say, the Batman…

Best of luck to all the athletes competing in Winter Olympics 2010!
