Rachel Homan world champions

 The team of Rachel Homan, Tracy Fleury, Emma Miskew, Sarah Wilkes and alternate Rachelle Brown are your 2024 world curling champions, defeating Switzerland 7-5. Quite a performance by this team.  First Canadian team to win it since 2018. Congrats to team Canada. 

A couple more

 The big upset of the day so far had #13 Yale beat #4 Auburn 78-76. Uuf. The other one had #10 Colorado beat #7 Florida 102-100 (I wonder if a 10 seed over a 7 seed is an upset).  Question now is how many brackets have been busted. Probably loads. 

Canadian mixed doubles championships

 This tournament went by quietly.  Kadriana and Colton Lott just beat Laura Walker and Kirk Muyres 7-5 and will represent Canada at the world mixed doubles curling championships in Ostersund Sweden from April 20-27.

First major upset

 This has #14 Oakland beat #3 Kentucky 80-76. Bang. 4 left tonight. Who is next?

March madness underway

 So far only two minor upsets. Both 11 over 6. Oregon beat South Carolina 87-77 and Duquesne beat BYU 71-67.  8 games down and 8 to go tonight, then day 2 tomorrow. 

Spring starts tonight

 Spring begins at 9:06pm Prince Albert time tonight. We're in the last hours of winter. Supposed to be -5c today and that temperature the rest of the week. It was really a mild winter. Only one or two serious cold snaps and one major snow storm. Most of the snow from that is almost melted. 

Happy St Patrick's day

  It's St Patrick's day.  The one day of the year where we're Irish for a day. Time of the year where we wear green, or drink green beer (although I won't). It's green time for a day. Cheers.

Gushue wins again

 Brad Gushue, Mark Nichols, Geoff Walker, and E.J. Harden has won the 2024 Montana's Brier, and third in a row. For Gushue, Nichols and Walker, it's their 6th. Wow. Kudos for Mike McEwen for battling. Congrats to Gushue and the b'yes from Newfoundland. 

McEwen to final

 From what I heard, Mike McEwen put on a clinic in beating Brendan Bottcher 7-3.  McEwen vs Gushue in the championship game. Can McEwen end Saskatchewan 44 year drought or will Gushue win another? Stay tuned 

3/4 page game plus time change equals.....

 First the Brier Mike McEwen beat Matt Dunstone 6-5 in the 3vs4 page game. McEwen will play the liser of the Bottcher vs Gushue game tonight.  Speaking of tonight is the springtime reminder to move your clocks FORWARD an hour. Certain parts of North America won't have to do so. (One advantage of living in Saskatchewan).
