The Rochester Curling Club is hosting (I kid you not) the Death By Chocolate Bonspiel (bonspiel is curler for tournament) for women's teams. This is a quote from their flier: "Featuring “The Famous Chocolate-tinis”, Chocolate at every meal, and other surprises.

A Life of Miscellany: Sometimes Bad Is Good
http://miscellanymiss.blogspot.com/2006/10/sometimes-bad-is-good.html
A Life of Miscellany. Things that caught my mind's eye. Saturday, October 28, 2006. Sometimes Bad Is Good. In curling, 9-1 is bad. Not "too many cats, too few litter boxes" stinking . no, it's more like "a skunk got in the car and now the doors won't open" stinking. But I don't care. You know why I don't care? Cause I played in that game. Not only did I play in that game, see that number "one" up there? The lower half of 9-1? But I played a curling match, and I was bad. Thursday at the Potomac Curlng Club.

It's very hard to curl when the back of your thigh is throbbing with pain. That would be really bad since I paid my membership fee for the first half of the season on Thursday. So how did my leg get so sore? Why the title of this post? The dog got closer, and I lunged . but the peat moss under me gave way, meaning ...

A Life of Miscellany. Things that caught my mind's eye. Monday, July 24, 2006. Where in the world ? And why can't we pronounce it? It's a tiny gripe, but one that I get this time each year. For the last three weeks, I have listened to broadcasters hop back and forth between calling it the Tour de Frantz (rhyming with Lance) or the Tour de Frahnce. Now, to be honest, I prefer Frahnce. I think it sounds better. And yes, I took French in high school and that could easily be the reason why. Radio (And no, do...

A Life of Miscellany. Things that caught my mind's eye. Tuesday, October 24, 2006. A Life Lived Fully. I have already touted the amazingness that is The Tuesday Morning Quarterback.
