Round 2

That catch phrase "Where does time fly"  comes to my mind when I see the calendar staring at me May 1
The last few months have flown by.  February was just a blur. So many long hours, so many friends I haven't seen, and so little time.  For me working the Olympics at Canada Hockey Place meant getting ready to start work at 9am and working til 12:30am. 3 hockey games a day, alot of hockey graphics, and some tears, and laughter in between.  For some people, they were sad to see the game end, me, I was happy. No more 14 hour days, and finally, I got to enjoy the last day of the olympics.  My olympic experience was a good one, I was at Canada Hockey Place, I worked on the broadcast with the largest viewership ever. 22 Million people saw my graphics, and no mistakes.  Wheeww...thank god.  And in the end, my friends and I celebrated with Tretiak, the Russian goaltender, Mike Babcock, and Stevie Y. 
And another catch phrase "life goes on" and it did. March was filled with more hockey. MSG, Fox, Comcast.  April came in like a lamb, just one Pay Per View game, managed a trip to Vegas for NAB, and
round 1 of West Conference Quarter Finals vs Los Angeles.  3 Games, 3 good graphic games, considering they didn't fly their coord.  Todd, who is the Sportsnet coord, he and I managed to pull off some pretty good stuff.  At times, I think we got on each other nerves, but in the end, we prevailed to create some good stuff.
Let's hope that good font karma will be with me for Round 2, when the Canucks play the Chicago Blackhawks, and Comcast is in town.  Time will tell, just as it flies.
