Dinner with Champions

Byskydiva

We were excited to be invited to the Awards dinner for the 2007 Visa Canadian Bobsleigh, Skeleton and Luge Championships. It was held at the Four Points Sheraton, across from Olympic Park, in way too small a room for all the athletes that showed up. The sense of being included in with such a clan was quite special. The meal was buffet-style and informal. Seeing all the athletes shine in their glory-moments was remarkable. Awards well earned with a lifetime of dedication and passion. Very memorable indeed.

Yoga today was an interesting challenge … trying to stay focussed with an instructor with a monochromatic voice who CONSTANTLY spoke. She was filling in for our regular teacher. I enjoyed the flow of the practice, and her ending quote, spoken during our savasana (corpse pose). I’ve included it for your enjoyment! As you think,…

Busy busy busy day! My work is moving from our current residence to Southport, a good long hike away from where we are currently. And also an hours more commute than what I have. No more leaving out the door last minute, or quick jaunts home enjoying a lazy lunch, for that matter. Sigh …….
