Saturday, November 17, 2007 I participated in the All American Bonspiel at the St. Paul Curling club. I had a grand time! Met lots of people. Let's see my team was Becky the skip Sam played third, I was second and Jody was lead. I started the day with a bit of a hangover as I had gone out Friday night. I curled Friday night at 5 in the mixed league then had beers with the team and met Val and Tara at Camp for beers. It was also Missy's b'day and she and the gang were at Camp too. I had at least one too many Blue Moon's. Anyway, as I was saying... my team and I took to the ice around noonish with our first game against my friend Mary Jane's team. Yippee we won, I don't recall the final score but we had a good game. After the first games were finished everyone took a break for lunch. After lunch we played Kim's team and sad to say they won. It was a fun game and very challenging. Again I don't remember the score, obviously it was not too important to me. We had time enough for a quick break then back on the ice for game three. Greetings all around with Margeaux's team, this was an extra fun game as I knew most of the players on her team. We won again!!!!!! I know Margeaux was not a happy camper about that! I will need to send off an email to gloat a little :)
I have no idea which team won the bonspiel, I do know it was not my team, although my team may have had the best time. After the bonspiel was over I hung out at the club with my fellow curlers drinking beers and socializing. Jody informed me of a bonspiel in Fargo ND in January. It is a Triathlon, curling, bowling and darts, what a great idea.
Five of us, Mary Jane, Barb, Kim, Michelle and I, went to Fabulous Ferns for food and drinks. Boy was I a chatty Kathy, I woke up this morning thinking "what the hell got into me?" While at Ferns Barb, Mary Jane, Kim and I decided we would form a team and go to Fargo for the Triathlon. Now I don't know if it was the beer talking or if they were serious. I talked with MJ this morning and she and I have agreed that we both want to go to Fargo, it sounds like a fantastic adventure. I am still waiting to hear from Barb and Kim. We then all played a couple games of darts. I have to say this was one of the best evenings out that I have had in a long time. Lots of laughter.
I also found out that Barb and Kim both downhill ski, I have been looking to find people who ski, most of my friends only cross country. Kim also mountain bikes and we chatted about that. I have known Barb for quite a while, she and I curled on the Tuesday morning league but this was the first time I had met Kim. I think I want to get to know her more, she seems very interesting. As much as I was running my mouth she probably thinks I am a freak.
That's my Saturday
peace and joy,
CM
