Kinda over (day 185)

I wonder why the Para-Olympics are treated so differently than the Olympics.  I also wonder why women are not allowed to ski jump in the Olympics.  Those two things seem like they belong in the same category.  It didn't seem right to me that the closing ceremonies should be held, and the flame extinguished only to be lit again.  I'm not sure of all the complexities of having the Para-Olympics but perhaps one solution is to fully integrate the two so they take place simultaneously.  The whole party lasts a bit longer and both get the recognition they deserve.  As it is, we're in a no man's land of Olympics.  Closing ceremonies have happened but some Pavilions are still up and the Live sites are still there (at least the Yaletown one is).  We have to wait for a couple weeks before the Para-Olympics start.   The good thing is, we have a second chance at the closing ceremonies.  Maybe theirs will have good music.

While we wait, a joke I heard from my friend Alex:

Mukmuk! Who's there? Miga. Miga who? Mukmuk! Who's there? Quatchi. Quatchi who? Mukmuk!Who's there? Sumi VANOC, it's just a joke

A song for this post.
