Today was an exciting day for Hockey fans across North America. Yes, even for the Americans; it was a great game.

Canada ended up with 17 medals this year, besting our showing in Nagano by two (and with 6 gold medals to boot). Not too shabby. Got to love it.

Had an interesting experience while watching the game at my home in Markham. I decided to call Byron and we chatted while watching the game. Then at around the 3rd period, I conference called Kev, who soon conference called Vi. Well, while it was a night out with the boyz, it sure came pretty close (even with the five second delay with Kevin).

Tai, Jen, Kai, Byron and Vi (and most of Canada): 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3…
Kevin (five seconds later): 10, 9, 8…

Damn, I think we kind of ruined it for him because we’d be seeing things five seconds before Kevin did. Damn that Bell ExpressVu.

Well, I went to Les Ballet Jazz de Montreal last Friday Night. It wasn’t a total disaster; it was rather good in my opinion. Things that made it good for me:

1. The dance sets were short. They ranged from 3-10 minutes
2. They used music that made sense. It had lyrics, so it was very obvious to me as to what they were trying to say.
3. No one, except the women, wore tights (and that was only in a few instances)
4. The music was Jazzy.

I also admired the pure athleticism of the dancers. From a Kinesiological point-of-view, there was a lot of amplitude with very high impulse (in non-plus terms: Powerful and Fast movements). It was all kind of like an extended GAP commercialÑa lot of people dancing wearing the same type of clothing.

The dancers were having fun and so was I.

Cheers,

Tai
