Well, congrats indeed to Team Gushue!

 

Now, to be fair, I've only been in a Curling rink about twice, and only actually on the ice once, but I can still tell a class act, and these guys are a class act. It also helps that the Canucks group at work has been getting daily updates from the coach, via family on staff here. It's been very cool seeing the story develop.

 

But, here's the coolest part, in my opinion: The province of Newfoundland closed schools so the kids could watch the game. (Now that may have been just practicality, because they all would likely have anyway.)

 

My dad, by the way, was born on a small island in Newfoundland's White Bay, (and lived on the Island for 40 years or so), so I'm sure that gives me some reason to join in the celebration.

 

My friend Chris is photographing the Olympics, while my biggest accomplishment this week seems to be surving three days of single-parenting. Either that or cleaning my desk before vacation next week.
