It's official: I've got Olympic fever. It's making me sweat just thinking about the end of these amazing times in our city (and on our televisions) but I'm taking solace in the fact that the Games will be back. They won't ever be in our city again but having them hosted here has given me a huge new appreciation for them and I look forward to following them more closely in the future, if not saving my pennies for trips to the host cities to witness the magic and get a piece of the energy they are certain to bring wherever they may be.
The next Winter Olympics go down in Sochi, Russia in 2014 and in case you didn't notice over the past two weeks they've presently taken over Science World and turned it into the Russky Dom! This fuzzy little guy is one of the mascot hopefuls, they haven't announced who their official mascots will be (and they won't be until 2011) but they got this costume made and they're selling t-shirts with this guy on it so I think we know who has a decent chance at being the Quatchi of 2014.
