Let the Games Begin

I'm not sure if anything beats the Olympics. Every two years, I am filled with pride, hope, and goodness as I live vicariously through athletes gathered to demonstrate their skill and talent on the world stage. Generally in the summer, I am all for Team USA. In the winter, however, I am torn between the U.S. and Canada. I am lucky enough to see coverage of both and I must say that Canada is more generous with the medal ceremonies, which is just about the second coolest thing about the Games. I never know who to pick for hockey, although I think Team Canada is shaping up to be a favorite. Sweden is also a viable option. And I suppose the Americans are good back-up. For everything else, I hope we dominate and we will, 'cause that's what we do.
