Curling Fun

If you are curling fan like I am, and it is hard to do in Southern California, the Scotties Tournament of Hearts is on this weekend, and the playoffs just started! (For you non curling fans, that is the big Canadian Women's National Curling Championship) If you were sad that you could not watch the games like I was, go to www.tsn.ca - you can watch the playoffs live on your computer!

For you non curling types, and I was shocked to realize that there were many of you, yes, this the game where you throw rocks at a house..... but it is not what it sounds like.

The winner of the tournament will be named Team Canada and will represent Canada in all international competition for the next year, and because Canada is a strong curling country, there is lots of it! Curling is huge internationally, just really minor in the US. Also, if this was the year of the winter olympics, they would be the team going. They also automatically get into the tournament next year and play under the name "Team Canada" rather than the provincial name. So this year Team Canada was from B.C., so B.C. had two teams in the tournament!

Any questions about how I will be spending nap time?
