MR. DINNER IS EXHAUSTED!

I am hoarse. I am soar. I am tired. I am happy!

What an incredible 8 days!

But I am exhausted.

So my last post from Vancouver is going to be short (highly unlikely) and sweet.

Spent my morning and early afternoon spending some final hours trying to take in as much as I can about what makes Right to Play so special for me. Still hard to put into words, so I won't (which is rare). Got to say hello to a few more great people, and of course had to say goodbye to many great ones.

From there I got to participate in the what seems like the one Olympic event everyone here in Vancouver gets to go in....standing in line. I must point out here this is not a complaint. Just a fact. If you came down to Vancouver for the Olympics along with hundreds of thousands, if not millions of other people (okay maybe tens of thousands) and didn't expect in line, well then I think you expect a little too much of what others are supposed to do for you. In fact the line proved to be a nice time to finally slow down, and the families and friends around me (and there were a lot of them) enjoyed their time together...hmmm, weird...people actually enjoying family and friends on a beautiful sunny day in, for the moment, the greatest place on the planet.

Sat down to watch some television on an amazing HD television, watched our Olympians triumph and come up short, witnessed joy and disappointment, say the pride in what they do, all the while re-living everything I have just seen and participated in, believing in my heart of the potential we all have for greatness. It's a pretty awesome feeling, and hopefully it's not just because I am exhausted.
