WOW!!! What a Rush!

Last night I got to participate in a truly unique/once in a lifetime experience. I had the honour to sing at the 2010 Winter Olympics Torch Relay Lighting ceremony with Richmond Chorus. It was AMAZING!

Rick Hanson brought it in. 30K+ people there. Got to see the torch, eternal flame, and Rick up close. Too many of my co-singers were ahead of me to get a pic with the torch but that's OK. Got a great picture in my head forever. :)

Rich took lil'A into the village to see the relay run through our beloved Steveston village. I hear a changeover in the relay (one to the next) happened right in village. Now we can tell the story to lil'A when she gets older and perhaps an olympian herself. Hey, you never know. : )

The rush seemed to have held my sicky-ness at bay, but today it's worse than ever. Called the Dr.B. people and they said to just get better and then come back. I'm happy already with a 40lb loss. It's all "downhill" from here. hehehehe

Today's the Day - Torch Relay

Well, we've worked really hard at ROCA . We're singing at the Torch Relay Lighting ceremony here in Richmond. Rick Hanson is doing the lighting. We're singing the official Torch Song called "Cette Flamme". Later, we're in the entertainment portion. Don't forget the fireworks every night here.

The famed Heineken House made its home here in Richmond tool.

Flu is taking over the house

Lil'A and I have been living in the family room these days. I've been clutch by a bad flu/cold/whatever that has kept me coughing until I couldn't speak.

I can now speak but the humidifier has been running 24/7 so that I can get the stuff moving.

Lil'A is coughing too but you'd never guess she's sick otherwise. Tinkerbell, Ratatouille, and Cars are all movies she wants to watch and nothing else. Oh, and Monster Inc.

It's so cute. She is singing Twinkle, Twinkle. The funny thing, is that each verse is slightly different. First verse is "Tinker, Tinker" and then "Tinkle Tinkle". Hey, I'm good with verse 2. We're working on the potty situation right now. 2 times a day right now. Not bad I think.

Just in case I don't get back to blogging later this week, Birthday Wishes go out to "Auntie Kare" (Karyn Gert) and Gran from lil'A.

Well, "Ni'Ni'Time" is coming up. Gotta get ready for the torture (new bed issues for lil'A).
