(originally this post said “day 5…”, that was a mistake, supposed to be day 4… thanks Chip!) More training today, included a field trip to China Town.

Getting excited! Thought I would share another countdown with you… there are 2,544 hours to go until I leave for my assignment at the 2010 Olympic Games. The actual games start in 2,808 hours (February 12th, 2010). Fact: did you know that it is improper to say; “Olympics”? I didn’t… if you want to “plural”…
