A couple of items
Not much happening these days so not a lot of blog posting.
A few minor news items I guess, even some relating to curling.
Jennifer Jones and the girls are playing against the boys in the TSN skins game in January.
We cancelled out of the Cape Cod mixed. Our team kind of fell apart and rather than spend the vacation time (and gas money) we figured to save it for something else. That something else may be a trip to Germany in the fall for a bonspiel.
Our friend Shorty Jenkins is in the hospital. He is a great guy who always took the time to help us when we needed it. He is doing okay and will hopefully be home soon. Get well short stuff.
I guess the news was curling related.

Holiday weekend
Its a long weekend and the unofficial start of summer. So what better thing to do then hang out with some curlers.
Tomorrow is a picnic at a curler's new house. There will be some beirut, food and adult beverages. Will be nice to see the folks that disappear in the summer.
Sunday we are off to Belmont Park to watch the horsies. Will drink some beer, make a few bets and hopefully win a few dollars. No big race that day so it is actually not too crowded and you can get close to the paddock and the rail.
Monday will be a hang out kind of day with a little yard work and not much else.

Some people's worst nightmare
That will be the response I expect now that the LBI curling club has become a recognized club in the GNCC. Why, because I am now the GNCC rep for the LBI CC which means I get a voice and a vote. Regular readers know that I can get a little incensed about curling and especially curling politics.
Anyway, that was our big news from the GNCC annual meeting. They also passed a one dollar increase on the dues. Otherwise it was a pretty calm meeting.
We will still maintain our strict new member policy. If you want to join you better learn the secret hand signal and attendance is mandatory at the annual meeting.
By the way, did you notice I got the winner of the Preakness right?

A little curling...kinda
One of the local free weekly newspapers has a contest every year for the best of Fairfield County. Well, Nutmeg Curling Club just happened to win the best kept secret category.
Not sure if that is good or bad. Good I guess that we get some press but bad in that people don't know we exist and there was a lot of ballot box stuffing by the members to get us the win.
Anyway, it is some publicity.

Not much happening
Last weekend was quiet, just some yard work and watching golf.
If you want to bet the Preakness this weekend put Big Brown on top. Don't see a way he can lose. Only way to make any money (the only reason to bet) is to play some trifectas.
Off to the GNCC meeting this weekend. Should be some news out of that for next week.
