Countdown begins....

Ok - practice time this morning for me, Jen G, and Ryan went super well. To have a chance to spend 3 hours out on real curling ice was an arena ice curler's dream come true! And we were lucky to have Jon Wilson helping us fine tune our skills. We'll see how sore the three of us are tomorrow.

We picked up Tim from the airport around 1:00 pm and then went down to Pike's Place Market - got to see some fish being thrown around, ate some chowder in a bread bowl, bought some chocolate covered cherries. The things real Seattle-folk do, right? Jon was our guide and kept us out of trouble.

Then a quick nap and back to the Granite Curling Club to see if we could sub. Only Tim ended up playing for Jon - so he was able to get his practice time in on the real ice. His team held their own against tough competition. Jen Lindsay joined us at the club and was able to see the end of the 7:30 pm draw. Sadly none of us got in to the 9:30 pm draw to sub, but that's ok - we'll still be ready to shine on the ice.

Right now Donna, Cindy and Matt are flying in - they land in about 15 minutes. Team Bond Girls will be all back together and ready for good times on the ice! First draw time 9:00 am. We play 3 games tomorrow and possibly two more on Sunday. It's gonna be a busy weekend in curling land.

We'll keep you posted. Go Team Bond Girls and Team Zissou!
