Right now Canada and the US are dukin' it out for gold.
The bro is rooting for the Unites States because he's been brain washed by his father.
The rest of us are cheering for Canada because we are swept away in the feeling of patriotism.
It's kinda neat to see an entire country joined together to celebrate their athletes.
I remember watching the last Summer Olympics with my sister while we were on vacation in Ontario. We were staying at my Aunt's trailer in Nothern Ontario. We'd spend all day outside, soaking up the sun, reading, splashing in the lake, then head back in to catch the latest sprinters or swimmers reach for gold. Even in the boonies up North, it felt as if we were still connected to the larger picture of the country.
Fast forward two years and the Winter Olympics are almost done. I've spent the last week or so studying in front of ski jumpers, bobsledders, and figure skaters. The past two weekends I've been at home, the entire famjam has gotten together and tuned in to support the Canadian favorites. It's been more than easy to get caught up in the Olympic frenzy.
I wonder how these Olympics will end: marked with Canadian or American glory?
Love, D.
