Tonya's team, down one player through end 3, pulled out a nail biting win Saturday afternoon. I am not sure what the final score was. Something like 8 to 7. They now play for the championship of event 2 today at 11. The ice was very uncooperative especially for the Canadian team. We couldn't quite figure out why the same sheet of ice proved more difficult for them. According to the Canadian team, it was the cause of their loss. Ok, that is an inference based on a comment made by Poodle. An endearing term we gave to one of the Canadian team members.
The social highlight of yesterday's draw was the Jello shot break by the two teams on sheet D. One might say they were several sheets to the wind by the end of the draw. Now, tell me, what sport has a break for Jello shots.
Seriously. Curling is an intriguing sport. The more I watch it, the more respect I have for the strategy, team work and athleticism that is required to play.

As I mentioned to Bill -- my team didn't have a bottle skip, so no Jello shots for us!
The final score was 7-5. The 6th end was crucial as we help them to 1 point to retain a 1 point lead.
