This blog began as a way to record my musings about preparations and travels to the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada February 16-27, 2010. From that amazing experience came this ongoing story of becoming a sports fan. You can follow my tales of awe, agony, and all the emotions in between as well as view pics from seasons of Phillies baseball. Along the way is a little Eagles football thrown in for fun, and even some astronomy and weather related tales. I feel lucky to have witnessed some historic games, some heartbreaking losses, but all wonderful when told from this new fan's point of view.

The Olympic Flame (pic)

Like all of downtown, the area around the flame is very crowded. There is this obnoxious fence around it, so you can't actually get close. All the more reason to hang out with folks and have them take pictures with me. Here is the Canada/US spirit.
