Well, the girls win the big prize. Team Manitoba that is, with Cathy O., Mrs. JHcurl's email buddy. We met them a couple of years ago in Halifax at the Canadian Olympic Trials. Mrs. and Cathy O really hit it off. The Scotties win gives them a berth in the next trials. Guess were we will be headed in December of 2009. I expect an email will be coming telling her to get to Vernon for the Worlds. If you ever wanted to attend a curling event, go to the Canadian Olympic Trials. It was unbelievable in Halifax and I am sure the next one will be just as good. Here is a video clip of the last couple of shots.
The Nutmeg Club Championships were held this weekend with teams that are put together by the organizer. The final came down to Derek (of course) and Rob (recent 2nd event runner up at the Dykes). The funny thing is that Rob's team didn't want to face Derek in the final and wanted to forfeit the game. Rob of course bailed them out and the game went to an extra end with Derek the winner.
Okay, three weekends, three bonspiels. The McKay-Douglas at Ardsley, the Stone at Plainfield and then the Greatest Show on Earth, the Golden Handle at Nutmeg. A couple of weeks of league play left then pull the plug. A little clean up and then off to Grand Forks for the Men's Worlds. Spring is approaching.
Later,
JH

I'm happy for your pal, but Jennifer Jones still comes off like a royal you-know-what.
