Let the Games begin!!!
To: All
The Opening Ceremonies start at 6 pm MT; there is a pre-game special at 5 pm MT. They will be broadcast on NBC. And just so that everyone knows, President Bush is going to officially open the Ceremonies with the following remarks:
"I declare open the Games of Salt Lake City, celebrating the Winter Olympic Games.". This is what the leader of the host country traditionally says (I think to prevent dictators from taking over the ceremonies.)

Got my feet up on the desk, tv warmed up, and V.O. Ginger ready, let the GAMES BEGIN!
The storm this morning cleaned out the fog, so the valley is beautiful.
Did you see all the pictures on the MSNBC site? Fantastic layout showing SLC in all its visitor glory. KUDOS to them.

Woo hooo Utah Girl. And compliments to Salt Lake City (and all the other venues). A great Olympics is here! The greatest place on earth for winter fun. And the best snow in the world too boot (none of this "Nagano rain" this time!).
I'm stoked and will be watching (when I'm not skiing, that is).
Gee, they get a little snow in Utah in February? Surprise, surprise. Get used to it! All that snow is going to make for some supreme ski events. That's why there's an Olympics going on there.
