Goal Scored!

One of the coolest moments living in downtown Vancouver during the Olympics is when you're sitting in your apartment watching the hockey game and you hear the whole city cheer when Canada scores a goal. After the Men's Hockey Gold Medal Game went into overtime I decided to set my recorder on my deck and let it run.

It sounds foreboding to begin with. The helicopters and crows hover and caw. Then a cheer washes over Vancouver.

I tried to remain quiet, journalistic, but I let out single clap of excitement as we scored. I may have said something too. Goal scored! Or maybe that was the guy who lives above me, or his TV, or the guy who lives across the alley. We're all so close together.
