Back from Whistler/Squamish

[silfur]

It feels good to be home again. I got back yesterday and did laundry, sorted my room out a bit and more or less just settled in. This morning I went for my first run of the year. I'd been using the exercise bike on the ship in Squamish for a LITTLE bit of cardio training, but not nearly enough. We couldn't just leave the cruise ship and go for

Glad yer back in action again, bunners. You'll have to show me how in shape you are by out-walking me all over Vancouver next time I come up there :)

"Responsible Drivers Program..." a thousand bucks??? When is a fine not a fine? When it's a mandatory fee instead. Bollocks, I say.

So VANOC isn't keeping you on for the Special Olympics? Or don't those games get the same consideration? Meanwhile, how are prices in Vancouver now that the Olympic tourists have gone home? Back to normal? (I heard that they started getting ridiculous just before the games.)

I stayed on for the Paralympics, which are over now. The Paralympics are not the same as the Speical Olympics, a fact I was unaware of prior to working this job. The Paralympics are for people who have lost limbs or can't see, etc. The Special Olympics are more for mentally handicapped people. But ... yes they kept me on for the Paralympics and no, they don't get the same support as the regular Olympics. I mean the people involved try to make it out to be as big a deal but, there simply aren't as many events and as a result they had to lay a bunch of us off after the Olympics, so a lot of other people did go home. Furtheremore, ... well the general public just don't spend as much money to buy tickets for or attend Paralympic events. It doesn't help that they run the Paralympics AFTER the closing ceremonies of the regular Olympics. By that point, a lot of people are just plain partied out.

So yeah, I was there for nearly two months working for both events.
