Curling International

So I know it's been a while since we've posted something. I'm still trying to catch up with myself to schedule time in between traveling, sightseeing, feeding the baby, and curling. Whew! It's been quite a whirlwind trip, and I love it. There's a lot to update from our 1st time in Utah at the Club National Playdowns to our travels all over Scotland. We'll just say for now that there's castles, history, great architecture, and a lot of food. I'll come back to update you with the rest including our trip to Kay's of Scotland where we had the opportunity to see how our curling rocks are made. Thank you, Bill!

Tonight, we had our first curling practice at the Braehead Curling Club, and it's a beautiful facility with FAST ice!  On top of that, it's true curling ice. I don't think we are going to need our negative ice strategies. Thank goodness!  We briefly saw the rest of the girls. It's a cacophony of foreign languages,  and we're going to have some stiff competition.  What they don't know is that we've got a couple Hollywood tricks up our sleeves, and most importantly, we're going to have fun. I can't wait. 

Hopefully despite it all, we'll get some sleep tonight since our first game is at 8 am.  That's a 6 am call time to get everything ready. We will try to stream the games, but every new venue presents a whole set of challenges...so we'll see if we can get it up and running. 

It's Domino on the beat once again, reporting from Glasgow, Scotland.

Good Curling, Everyone!
