Wheelchair bungee drop & Olympic relay torchbearer - 02/11/10 04:50 AM

short article on wheelchair bungee drop & incredible athlete. He was someone I did see in person awhile ago.

I think this might explain where I get my inspiration for cycling for many years so far. (probably by now, it seems strange, but really it's not unusual) I hope you'll find something to keep you walking, jogging, and fulfilling long-standing dreams.

Was one of the Olympic flame torchbearers out in the suburbs last night.

He's raised 26 million? Amazing. Now he's a hero.

What a cool video Orchid. What a man Rick is, and the guy with him had me laughing out loud. He is so funny, who is he?

Chatty, the funny guy standing up, was Rick Mercer. He has a weekly comedy show here in Canada aired nationally. A certain amount of it covers political satire and jokes.

I hope to post some Olympic-related shots. We did witness the Olympic relay flame several times. I'm off to see if we can catch another location in about an hr. or so.
