They did it. Canada wins gold in men's curling!!!!!

Kevin Martin Skip

Johnny Morris
Mr. P. is a verra, verra happy man. Canada won the gold in men's curling. Although there is no doubt that Kevin Martin, the skip, is the hero of the day, Johnny Morris, who threw triples and doubles was a huge asset. Not to mention he is a hunk and recently voted the most eligible bachelor in Canada.

Today was a major tutorial for me as Mr.P. (who once skipped an 8 rock end) and I "played" curling with salt packets and peanuts with a napkin as the house (target to you non curling fans) in Five Guys. Learning the lingo is a big part of understanding curling but learning the strategy which I am now much, much better at is a much bigger deal. Once you understand more and more about this then the game becomes fascinating. Mr.P. loves teaching me the strategy. Although I don't yell at the TV, I do talk to it under my breath and understand why rocks that look like they have not really done anything significant are in fact strategically important. Thanks Mr.P. I'd watch curling with you anytime, well almost. Now hockey, that's another situation entirely and tomorrow that's what's on tap.

Canadian family....YEAH!!!!!!!
