2010 Winter Olympics

The 2010 Winter Olympic Games will be a wonderful event. We could afford to go, I guess, but we decided we didn't want to go badly enough to spend the money.
Then the opportunity came up to spend three days in the lap of luxury in Vancouver harbor on a cruise ship. Wining, dining, watching the Olympics on a big TV (a sort of floating sports bar), enjoying all the fun of a cruise, for a three day Olympic Games party. Our cynical son points out that we could buy a huge TV, buy a bunch of liquor, have the party catered, invite all our friends (including cynical son and his wife, no doubt!), and do the same thing at home for a fraction of the cost. Actually, that sounds like fun, too - and we'd still have the big TV.
Meanwhile, I've started writing about the Olympics.
