Did anybody here watch the 4 X 100 men's relay race yesterday?I was watching with my niece and she was super excited. Obviously Jamaica and US were going to win the gold and silver (unless they dropped the baton or got DQed). But it was still very exciting for the Canadian team to have a chance for 3rd.Anyhow the Canadian team did finish 3rd and my niece was jumping up and down. And they took out the Canadian flags and it was very exciting. We've only won 1 gold at these Olympics. But in this case winning a bronze was really like winning a gold.They put up the official results and then about 10 minutes later they put up on the board that Canada was DQed.My niece was inconsolable saying "i don't want to be disqualified". She was basically in tears. It's hard to explain to a 6 year old how these things work. My biggest problem with it is don't put the results up until it's official. That's how it's usually done if anything is questionable.It was such a big disappointment and very upsetting, especially because my niece was so upset. What an amazing result it would have been.
Maybe NINE did win DR FJL. I was just repeating something someone said..... Yes, you are correct NINE won the Best Musical Tony Award in 1982......
The staff here is young and inexperienced. The young man at reception cannot transfer a call to my room, so I needed to go to reception to speak on the phone!

I've had my nap and I'm lazily wandering about. I'm not sure how I like the lodging but I think it's a beautiful Georgian building. My window looks out on the set for "Step In Time" from MARY POPINS: I have a great view of Dublin rooftops and chimneys.The staff here is young and inexperienced.

LOL Jane, you sound like my mom, she's wrapped in a blanket while others are running around in shorts
Greetings from Dublin! We left an hour late and arrived on time at 604mph. I am in the Hibernian Club and in need of sleep. More later!
Photo of the ceremony.....can't see much of the amphitheatre, but you get the idea.
