Getting Closer to Vancouver

Sign that the Winter Olympic Games are closer, the "Ice Meisters" are making ice. There's a bit of twist in making the ice for Vancouver as it has a milder and wet climate unlike those dry climates found the Alps where the Winter Games are often held. Check out this NBC Olympics article: Vancouver Venues On Track; Ice Makers Weary of Rain. It reminds me of skating in humid Kentucky.

While the US spread the National Championships over two weekends, our northern neighbors wrapped up their championship this weekend and have named their Olympic Team. No real surprises there with Patrick Chan, Joannie Rochette and Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir leading the way.
