Welcome / Benvenuto
Good morning. Today is the day. I'm off to Torino for 59 days with NBC Olympics. I'm dreading it because it is a long time to be away. Away from my wife, my home (more precisely, my bed), my local, and my real job. Also 2 or 3 days off in 2 months is a bit tiring.
However, who am I fooling? The chance to work at the Olympics, in Italy, in the Winter is fantastic. I will have a great time.
I'm not sure what I am going to do with this blog. Likely share some pictures, links and maybe some words.
Here are the first few links worth sharing:

Here are the first few links worth sharing:
- This webcam has some views from the locations where some of the "mountain events" are being held: http://www.vialattea.it/it/webcam.html
- Downtown Torino - http://www.comune.torino.it/telecamera/
It doesn't all look like this. Torino is a lot like many other "industrial" urban centers. It's big, it's grey, and it certainly isn't all pretty. However, there are some beautiful parts. This is what you will see on TV. - Torino 2006 - http://www.torino2006.org/
