"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

More About Speial Athletes

The team won two games yesterday and two more today. 
They had a great evening out last night .
The game for gold is on Tuesday. 
There are pictures. I don't know how to transfer them to the blog. Sorry. 
Canadian athletes  have  already won a couple of gold. Figure skating is one. 
The team  traveled  on three  legs of the journey.The place is Pyeongchang. It's a long bus ride from Seoul.Like Leksand from Stockholm 
Flew to Vancouver and spent a day there while  athletes from all over Canada gathered for the flight to Korea.  All in their flaming   Maple Leaf red  Canadian  jackets and toques.
Imagine the excitement when they saw and became part of the whole.
Heather and Andy flew to Detroit and changed planes there.
When Heather and Andy joined Adam ,he hadn't seen his parents for several days. 
Heather said, when she wrapped her arms around him she could feel his heart pounding in his chest.

It would be neat if some expert could estimate how many miles the players have covered on court. Wearing a pedometer would be too distracting. This could boil down to a battle of sheer stamina.
