I was at dinner last night with company and they asked what we will be doing today. Hockey of course, I replied. Who will be playing? US versus Canada, I said matter of factly. I have long shed the indignate tone because I finally understood that not many people I know are as passionate about hockey as I am. I hope we win, he then said. I just offered an understanding smile.
A few days ago my senior VP asked if I was Canadian. What does that really mean? I wondered.
I find all of this funny. While watching the Olympics the last couple weeks. The games are suppose to bring people as one and compete best against the best. It somehow brings a bout of extreme nationalism. I just don't feel like people get the point.
