2010 Winter Olympics: Goodbye From Vancouver

Monday, March 01 2010

As my epic Olympic journey draws to a close, I feel like some sort of punctuation mark is in order.

And it is a big ol' exclamation mark!!!

I had the time of my life taking part in the Office Winter Games Contest and these are just a few of the many reasons:

1) Hanging out with Olympic speed skating legend Bonnie Blair . She is every bit as genuine, spirited, and delightful as she seems on camera. My fondest memory is when we were reprimanded for being too loud.Talk about a kindred spirit.

2) Representing Microsoft Office 2010 . At various points in the trip, most technology failed me. I.e. I couldn't find reliable Wi-Fi, had phone problems in a foreign country etc. Some days, the only thing that saved me was being able to crank out a draft in Word and directly upload it to my blog (a new 2010 feature) whenever I found a connection. Kudos to Microsoft Office 2010 for being so social-media friendly and a delight to promote.
