Awk! Macewen was light with his guard. Gushue took it out and is sitting shot. ---

I stumbled on an episode on PBS about the time it was new. I think it took me a while to figure out it was supposed to be funny, but it became one of my favorite series ever. But, being in the States, I almost never find anyone else who’s even heard of it. ---

I made a shot for the ages last night. Tie game, last end, playing vice. The other team had a rock on the edge of the four-foot, guarded, but not quite perfectly. I came through a tiny gap, took out their stone, and rolled about a foot. They had two shots to try to outcount me, but couldn’t. Okay, maybe not “for the ages”, but it was pretty darn good.
