Nationalism...

Who'd've thought we Canadians could be so vibrantly, outspokenly red & white & maple-leaved...all of this red cheer against the gorgeous blue & white visuals of Vancouver. People who cheered and yelled at their TV sets while watching sports used to baffle and leave me bemused. Now I'm one of them. Go, Canada!!!! There's just something about seeing excellence in action.

Something about the energy and wide-open feeling of possibility, courage and confidence.

So--how does this translate into writing?

No guts, no glory, my friends.

I'm cheering you on!
