Wow, what a game this morning. Minnesota 2 won in extra ends, but it was a hard fought game the whole way. Their coach was extremely complimentary about our boys and said that he expected to meet them in the final game.

So we have a longer road than we had hoped for this win. We play Massechussettes on Friday at 2 local time. WHEN we win that one, we play another game at 7 local time. And then we have the finals at 1:30 on Saturday. It will be busy, but do-able and the lads feel up to the challenge.

Because we only had one game today Coach Murray, GayLynn and the adult McLean's went to the down town 2 blocks. We had the obligatory picture with Paul Bunyan and Babe The Blue Ox. We just had some down time to release fome of the intensity of the week. Tonight we head out for dinner with our host family the legendary curler Scott Baird and his wife Lynn.

We did hit one snafu today during the game. in the 5th end, right as our second's rocks were being played, Lisa turned to me and asked if I brought the go-gurt. I panicked! I ran back to the hotel in sub-zero temperatures {have I mentioned it's cold here?}, froze part of a lung during the jaunt; grabbed the go-gurt and made it back to the club in time to watch the skip's rocks in the same end. My thninsulate snow boots, parka, wool sweater, long johns, etc were not made for swift movement... it had better have been the best go-gurt those kids have ever tried!

Spirits are up, the boys are playing rousing games of hearts and hitting the pool/hot tub. Hang on, I still think we are in for a fun ride.

Take It For Granite,


Scott
