IT'S NOT JUST ME DOING GREAT STUFF!!

Once again I appreciate beyond measure everyone joining in on my experience here in Vancouver. As you have lived through what I do, I have to tell you, part of what makes this place so exciting and electric is the fact that everyone, and I mean everyone, is in town and they are all loving what they are seeing.

To prove this point, my friend who I am staying with is a chef at a restaurant called the "Italian Kitchen". It is such a great restaurant that it hosted me on Valentine's Day (which means I own my financee big time) but also the president of Latvia, and more importantly, Wayne Gretzky. So while you live through my experiences, I live through the experiences of others...a pretty awesome circle and one I am glad to be a part of. I mean after a long day of work, where my man had to serve the likes of Wayne Gretzky (a stress I couldn't imagine), he got to sit down with the "Great One" who just wanted to say thanks for some awesome food. Could you imagine Wayne Gretzky saying thank you to you? I couldn't before today! And it is that possibility that brings this city alive, because you just never know.

A signed "No. 99 Wayne Gretzky Estates" bottle....cool.

Today gave me the opportunity say hello to a couple of our Athlete Ambassadors - first up was Chris McElroy, the captain of the Edmonton Rush of the National Lacrosse League and then it was ZachPlavsic , a Canadian Olympian in wind surfing. While these guys might not be the most recognizable of athletes what they do to raise awareness of of what Right to Play does cannot be under-estimated. They bring energy and a love of sport, along with their excellence that takes them to the top of their respective sports, to the children of the world. Fantastic!

Chris McElroy - awesome lacrosse player, captain, Edmonton Rush

Zach Plavsic - 2008 Canadian Olympic wind surfer - a true believer!

And of course, with everything I've talked about and how it makes this city jumping, another medal takes it to another level. The Olympics are great!! And today will bring even more I am sure...awesome!!
