Not so Squished
The smiles say it all. My team played in a recreational curling bonspiel held at the Dixie Curling Club and organized by Go West Athletics. We had four matches, losing one match quite badly, and our final match was one of the toughest we've encountered in a while. It was against a team we were ...
We were short a player tonight, which meant that I was throwing 3 rocks instead of 2. In addition to that, I was throwing second and held the broom when our skip threw. I usually play lead, so I am more accustomed to putting up guards, but today I had lots of opportunity to practice ...
As I mentioned in my previous post, hubby and I were invited by our friends, the Humphrey's, to curl with them in a 2-day bonspiel. Hubby and I have only ever participated in our league's bonspiels, which takes place in a single day, at our local club. Games are short, allowing teams to only play ...
This weekend hubby and I participated in our first 2-day bonspiel in Ridgetown, Ontario.

I woke up this morning with every muscle in my body aching. I had already anticipated this. We were in a curling bonspiel yesterday. Our 5th place finish (out of 19) was a little bit heart breaking. We played well, but there was one game where we were short a player. ...
Our curling team won both our games last night (6-2 and 6-1)! We were on fire! I did much better than last week, my first game after returning from Argentina. I couldn't even remember which foot to put my slider on last week.
I have a feeling I'm going to be in a lot of pain tomorrow. I completely wiped out tonight at our curling game. Nelson threw a fast rock, looking to take out 5 of our opponents rocks, and we were sweeping for line. Just as I was thinking that running and sweeping ...
If you have ever eaten at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, you understand why people want to keep coming back. Their steaks are aged to perfection and broiled - to your exact order - at a searing 1800 degrees Fahrenheit to lock in the corn-fed flavour and natural juices. It's served hot and sizzling. In ...
