LILLEHAMMER WINTER OLYMPICS 1994-2004.

Yes indeed, folks, it is exactly ten years ago today, February 12th 2004,
the day of the spectacular opening ceremony of the 1994 Lillehammer Winter
Olympic Games. We shall celebrate the tenth anniversary of these greatest of
all Winter Games ALL weekend, and I for one most definitely mean ALL
weekend! So there! Remember Tommy Moe and Franz Heinzer, anyone?? One won
the gold, and the other one lost one of his skis right after
starting.................. Oh well. Water under the bridge now, anyway, I
suppose. We here say "Do not talk any more about the snow that fell last
winter". That was then, and this is now. Snow under the
bridge................. BTW, why bother removing snow, it will all melt away
in the end anyway.................. just be patient and wait and
see..................

I remember Lillehammer for mainly for Myriam Bedard Golds at both the 7,5
and 15 k Biathlon, but also for Jean-Luc Brassard's Gold in the Moguls and
the shootout in the final Hockey game that allowed Sweden to win over
Canada.

For me, it's Letterman's mother.

The very best opening ceremony, EVER.

Thank you, your words are much appreciated, and I have no problem in totally
agreeing with you here, for once. I did not see the opening ceremony myself,
not even on TV, as I was working as an accreditated driver just then, but I
attended the dress rehearsal only a few days earlier. It was somewhat
different, though, I suppose. But I attended the closing ceremony, so sad in
many ways................. And I saw Tommy Moe win his downhill gold in
Kvitfjell, I was there, I mean, and so was the at that time US First Lady
Hilary Clinton, I think, even though I did not see her personnally. But I
saw King Juan Carlos of Spain, not at all a bad substitution for Mrs.
Clinton. I also stood right outside Håkons Hall during the hockey final and
listened to the incredible noise coming from the crowd inside the hall
