Good on Scotland

While I was a little disappointed to see Jean Michel Menard lose today, I was still smiling to see David Murdoch's team prevail. At least it was a game, rather than some of the others we've seen. I was also a little disappointed that the round-robin wasn't televised... but the few games that I caught on the USA curling webcast made up for it--they were hillarious and so enthusiastic, it was (almost) like watching!

So the championship season is over for another year.

I'm probably one of the only people on earth who gets sentimental when I hear the opening theme music for the CBC broadcast... it means the games are almost over (and as of today, totally over for the year!). I like the pictures they have for the opening--both for the CBC sports thing (Jenn Jones celebrating last year's Scott victory) and the Championship Curling. Nowhere else do we ever see Kelley Law! And a relatively flattering shot of Colleen... not like those old Scott Paper commercials. Although they'll probably be gone for next year, with the company changing its name and all.
