I need to vent

Okay, completely Olympic curling related.

Really, these are the best teams in the US? You can't draw the fucking eight foot? With last rock? Time to find a new sport champ. You suck! You had a run, now find a bar to throw darts in and drink beer full time.

Just frustrating to watch. Sorry if you don't know curling and are reading this but I need to vent. The US men's team could be 3-1 easily. They look completely lost. The US women? please, if that had a clue it would say "go home and play ping pong". Seriously, at 54 with two bad knees I like my chances against either team.

I also fear the end of competitive curling on the East coast. The almightly dollar (USOC) is not gonna be happy with these results at all. There will be a serious effort to create "all star" teams from this crap fest in Vancouver. Of course, the "center of the universe" has all the curlers that matter. Good luck East Coast, you may get to play for Worlds and Olympics in 20 years if you are lucky.

Okay, now I feel better.

Okay, another try

So, one post in January. Guess I need to decide if this blogging thing will continue or become a once in a while thing. Maybe I just need to collect Facebook status updates and post them here.

What has been happening? Work is crazy with lots of driving to and fro to NJ. That will get worse in February. Curling is kind of over for the season for me due to that. Just wont be in CT enough to make it to the club on a regular basis.

We did host the GNCC Mixed Championship and I did the ice. I must admit, it was really good ice. Nice and fast and decent curl.

Beginning of March sees us off to Kalamazoo for the Nationals. Coaching a women's team out there. First time for me so it will be interesting. Hope I can add something to the team.

Olympics start soon and with it a rush of open houses to hopefully add a bunch of new members. Interest seems pretty good so far with quite a few people already signed up online.

Later,
