Starbucks, the Olympics and Gold Medal Kids

I am sitting at the Starbucks on Denman Street and Robson Street, one block from my home at Denman and Haro in Vancouver.

Several leftover Olympic visitors are still here. One table has about four nations represented and all of them are speaking English as a second language. What fun.

Am thinking about my daughter, Marion, who was one of the managers at the Ritz Carlton Starbucks on PCH near our home during 2002 while she was working her way through school. She requested to work in Salt Lake City during the Olympics and had her third Olympic experience! L.A., Atlanta, and Utah. Thank you Starbucks.

My son Don made Salt Lake City his third Olympics as well. First, also L.A. Second, when he was fourteen years old, he went to Lillehamer on his own! That will need a separate post for sure!

Anyway am grateful to Starbucks for access to the internet. A reasonable time limit is given to Starbucks customers here in Canada, no charge like the USA. So thank you SBUX! And if you read this blog Marion and Don, thank you for being GOLD MEDAL KIDS.
