Excitement of Olympic proportions
I usually try to keep personal news out of the blog, but there’s just too much goodness to share to avoid it this time.
Later today, in the culmination of about 5 years of planning and anticipation, I’ll be boarding a train to travel across Canada with the final destination of the Vancouver Olympics! In addition to an unforgettable trip across the country (something I’ve never done before) and having tickets to multiple Olympic events, my travel buddy Zed and I pitched our adventure to the CBC and they’re letting us blog about it! We’ve got a twitter account and YouTube channel (and some sweet little Kodak HD cameras) to help tell the story of our trip across the country and all the mischief we’re sure to get up to while screaming our lungs out for Canada!
We're more than a little excited. Does it show?
So with all this excitement, I needed to post to let you know that while there’ll be no new content here for the next few weeks, you’ll be able to take a peek behind the scenes at the Olympics along with yours truly! I mean, what could be more fun than that???
Adding to the excitement, when I do get back from Vancouver (hopefully still with a voice after two weeks of cheering with reckless abandon), I’ll be officially starting my new role leading the Canadian digital operation at Weber Shandwick. So to say I’m a little excited about the immediate future is an understatement.
The good news? You can follow along! So I hope you will:
