Picking Up The Pieces

So, following the (stupid, unbelievable, ridiculous...) riot in Vancouver, local citizens have come out in the thousands to clean up our fair city.  I'm just guessing that 100% of the people contributing their efforts to clean up are not actually the people responsible for trying to destroy it.

There is an enormous sense of disgust and disbelief around town.  Just last year we were all riding high on the wonderful atmosphere of the Olympics; celebrating with guests from all over the world.  The feeling was so amazing, like a huge, global community all celebrating their own athletes and all supportive of each other's homelands.

This was the EXACT opposite.

So, to everyone inadvertently involved who came from far and wide to watch the game and experience Vancouver; we're sorry this happened and deeply embarrassed.  Congratulations to Boston on winning the Stanley Cup; you deserve it.

Okay readers...I can't believe I feel the need to discuss this on a MS blog but, back to normal next week.  Thanks for checking in, love Ali xoxo
