It was a 100-word daily column about my impressions about the Games, printed in ‘Vancouver 24 hrs’. It was called ‘Social Keri’, and I had no input on that.

This was my final article.

I love how this was known around the wolrd as “The Party Olympics”.

Simultaneously, we set the record for the most gold medals ever won at a Winter Olympics.  Sums us up pretty well, eh?

This was our coming out party, Canada!

It’s important to keep this patriotic momentum going; we’ve been humble for long enough about being the best country in the wold.

You know those times when you got goosebumps during the Games, or when your eyes welled up?  When you were holding your breath and forgetting to blink while you willed us to victory?

That feeling, that’s the one that needs to be celebrated and screamed a little louder.

I don’t want to leave here.  I want to live in this bubble forever.

Thank you Vancouver, for showing me the time of my life.

See you soon.
I’m so coming back.

xoxo

kk woah – just went to link up all articles from ‘Canadian Explorer’, and they’re missing? Oh boy. The hard copies are long gone.

They must be around there somewhere, but likely went missing when I ported over to WordPress from SquareSpace. Gah.
