Round 2 - Here I go Again

Most people can only dream about going to the Olympics. I was fortunate enough to be a part of the fabulous Vancouver Winter Games just over two years ago in the role as a volunteer for the Alpine Ski racing at Whistler. (See older blog posts). Little did I know at that time I would get another chance, just 2 short years later, to go again, albeit in a completely different capacity.

I´ve been sent to London on a work assignment by my company Thales Group. Our division builds subway (tube) automation systems. I started working on the project 8 1/2 years ago to help get the Jubilee line running with greater capacity and reliability; all in preparation for these games (and the future of the line too). This is one of the infrastructure projects that will last long after the games are gone.

Iḿ sitting the British Airways Club lounge at Pearson Airport waiting for my overnight flight to London. While I am very excited about the next 3 weeks, I also know that I am going to miss my family tremendously. Kids, take care of your Mom for me please.
