Tomba! From Nicholas in Torino
I am in the Olympic Rendezvous @ Samsung, eating pasta. Alberto Tomba (5 time gold medalist) and Peter Land are next to me. This is AWESOME!
Some greatest hits from the last 3 days/nights:
2 a.m. halftime viewing of the SuperBowl with Canada team.
Driving in Torino sans navigation system (if you think I have Tourette's Syndrome there, just wait ...)
Sitting behind Silver medalist Elizabeth Manley (Canada figure skater) on flight from Paris to Italy (she is working for NBC Radio and coming to Canada Place, our venue).
Our house is a trip! It is about 250 years old (date on the brick) and on the edge of town. It's like we're in Thomas Jefferson's Monticello! Our host is a 60 something bachelor who collects Napoleon Bonaparte historic items, so it's like a museum in the main house with plain jane rooms for sleeping. Peter Land is my roomate!
All is well. The food is quite good, even when Olympians aren't in the room. Will send more updates soon - heading to the Barilla set building (gasp, more driving!~)
Ciao, and Thank YOu for getting this allocation! hello and buona serra good afternoon to the team!

Mary read your email at the staff meeting and asked if anyone knew who Elizabeth Manley was....and I was the only person to raise their hand. Olympic Geeks unite!
