Last week I took the opportunity to visit the location for my 300 m segment of the Torch carry in Morrisburg. My part of the segment begins on Hwy 31 South and starts at Felker Way, from there I will carry the Torch 300 m, going south towards the Village and the course completes itself at Hwy 2. Just being there caused these wonderful little butterflies to tickle my tummy, WOW what a great feeling! (of course I was also immagining hundreds of Proud Canadians cheering, yelling, clapping and taking pictures while the Flame was passing by). I'm so happy to see that the Olympic spirit is beginning to buzz around us. Banners are going up, people are wearing Olympic insignia clothing, schools and communities are planning the their activities for hosting the Flame everyone is getting so excited! Man, this is great...!

The technology inside the torch
This is so cool. The torch I will be carrying is pretty high-tech.
At least I know I won't put out the flame!

Some people I would like to thank
In making this dream come true I owe thanks to some key persons.
First I would like to thank my buddy Shawn Pilon for sending me the RBC application that won me a spot in the running "you the best P".
Secondly I would like to thank and (console) my lovely wife for helping me meet all the application deadlines and for sending her application second (had she sent hers first she would be the one pursuing her dream and writing this blog instead of me), I love you Chantal and I owe you BIG TIME!
And..Oh yes, a moucho-grando thank you to Cup-a-Joe Design for helping out with all the technical stuff and all the support that assured me that I was actually going to be a Torchbearer and that the whole thing was not a hoax! I should have known that a past 1988 Olympic Torchbearer would have had the credibility and knowledge of what was going on (it just sounded too good to be true)! Joe McNamara "you the best too".
