Such excitement as the Olympic torch run passes through Oshawa on December 16th, 2009. Darryl and I braved the bone chilling cold and flurries to witness the historic event not once, but twice. We met 2 of the relay runners in North Oshawa and then watched the final runner, local TV & radio personality, Dan Carter, bring the flame to the outdoor celebration downtown 2 1/2 hours later.
Dispite the fact I had long since lost all feeling in my fingers and toes, I enjoyed watching the flame pass within a couple of feet of me and seeing the sheer joy in the eyes of the runners as they passed with torches held proudly aloft.
GO CANADA!!!
