CBC defines my days

I heard someone on CBC radio yesterday saying that watching athletes perform at the Olympic Games was like watching 'the result of love'. The idea was that one cannot get to that level in a sport without truly loving it. I thought that was a beautiful thing to say. I don't know if it's true. I imagine that many mixed emotions go into training and competition: love and hate and fear, agony and joy, to name a few.

I do know that I get to watch the result of love, here in my house, every day.




And yes, I recognize the ridiculousness of these photographs. I thought that it might temper the maudlin sentimentality that seems to have come over me this Valentines Day.
