I hereby make a vow to smoke at least 1 cigar for every medal that our Canadian athletes will win during the winter Olympics. I love my cigars so I hope we win lots of medals

There was a hydraulic failure on one arm for the indoor torch Cauldron. They were only able to raise 3 arms. But for almost 4 or 5 minutes, all 4 torch beareres were standing there looking at each other as if they did not know what to do if it didnt rise up.

Did anyone else notice that the pickup that carried Wayne Gretzky to the outdoor torch looks like it hit a tree or a bush before the drive? The passenger side headlight was burnt out, and a branch was hanging off the bumper on the drivers side.

Thought you were going to get to smoke your first one tonight, but the American stole that wonderful cigar right of your lips.... LOL here's hoping you get to smoke a couple during the games but is still all about team USA. You stand a great chance in hockey

Well done to all athletes.

I get one cigar this morning this afternoon when I wake up. Work is finally done for the weekend. I will let you know what I choose.

GOLD for the Canadiens Badge make it a good one. I smoked a Padilla Miami today for the US gold yesterday. Just may smoke one for the Canadien Gold tomorrow.

So far I have to say that this is the worst Olympics in recent history. I'm sure it's awesome being in Vancouver and I believe the Canadians are doing the very best that they can to provide all the finest facilities possible, not mention the general generosity and courtesy of the Canadian people. It's simply unforunate that they've had a significantly low snow base this year and most of the talk in the outdoor events deals more with the poor conditions of the skiing/ snowboarding surfaces and less with the athletes competing on these surfaces. Can't wait for Hockey to start though!!!

Hey guys. I live right downtown and in the heart of it all. I can tell you it's a madhouse all day and night, and not necessarily in a bad way. I live right across the street from BC Place and had a front row seat for the fireworks, and I could see Wayne Gretzky being driven away from my balcony. There is some sort of show happening at BC Place right now and I can hear the thumping of the music. I'm not totally happy that the Olympics are here, but it's not as bad as I thought it would be.

OK.... I'll correct myself. After watching the replay of Jacobellis fall, I realize that it was not the surface condition but her making contact with another snowboarders board that caused her to fall. Everything else I said still stands true.

Russia vs Czech game has been pretty good so far. Can't wait for the USA vs Canada game tonight! I think this game will definately let the USA team know where they stand.

It's third period, so far so good. I'm surprised we got three past brodeur, to be honest.
