Humbug

Some days you get the bear, and some days the bear gets you.

I am sad for our girls that they did not quite reach their long held goal of representing Canada at the Olympics. They worked long and hard for this chance and came up a little bit short, which is not hard to do in our beloved sport.

I am pleased for our girls that they had a pretty good week, curled well for the most part, Top scoring team, Top ranked Skip, and they finished much higher then all of the prognosticators and poll takers had forecast.

There were 6 other very good teams who would have chewed off an arm to be able to be throwing rocks today. There is some consolation in that somewhere but I can't hardly see it right now cause my eyes are a little fuzzy. Maybe next week it will become clear.

Good luck to Stefanie Lawton and her team, safe home for our gals for a well earned rest and then a regrouping for the Regionals in St. Thomas January 6th where hopefully they can get their groove back and put up some big W's.

Team Middaugh are still Champions in my book.
