"The Pizza Man delivers!"
That was the call as the US men's curling team won bronze. It was the first curling medal for the US, so congratulations to Team Fenson for defeating Great Britain! The Canadians ended up winning gold over the Finns. And in another sign that curling is getting to be big-time, a streaker appeared at the gold medal game. →

And I must say our guys were looking pretty good in their uniforms while the Scots' plain white golf shirts left something to be desired.

Evan and I did go to Broomstones Curling Club Saturday. It was pretty cool, and I got some nice pics, but my memory card decided to start acting up, so I may not be able to get the files off it. We didn't actually get on the ice because it was crazy crowded. The lady at the door said they had had almost seven hundred people come through, and that was a good hour and a half before it ended. Hopefully I'll be able to post pics if they are recoverable. Here's Evan's post with pics.

so did ya fall down? :-p
Nope. After seeing how packed it was (minimum half hour wait I reckon) and watching the first 3-4 people who tried to launch a stone totally busting it, we decided to be spectators only this time.
Yeah it looked much harder at the open house than it did on the Olympic TV coverage.
