I would like to wish a very happy Mario day to Team Italy, who are celebrating by *obliterating* Team USA at the World Baseball Classic.

Expect Jayden King to end up on, or with, an excellent team after the upcoming curling free agent season.

Very impressive shooting, gutsy calls, and calm demeanor for a rookie skip.

Tough to pick just 9 after gaming for so many years, but for my9games.com it's got to look *something* like this

(hon. mention Hearthstone, Tony Hawk, Kingdom Hearts, Tetris, Gran Turismo, Grand Theft Auto, Warcraft, Quake, Monkey Island, MTG Arena, Ball x Pit, Frequency, MS Flight Simulator)

For the second time in recent months, two guys in hoodies are delivering propaganda to doorsteps in my neighborhood. Alternating homes, they drop it on the front landing, and quickly leave. Last time was worse with some transphobic bullshit. Who is funding these guys?

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

๐Ÿ˜Š 8 were correct but the wrong colour
๐Ÿ˜” 12 did not win a medal

Huge Congrats to Sarah Wilkes, Emma Miskew, Tracy Fleury, and Rachel Homan!!!

The field was incredibly strong this Olympics, and they showed so much talent and character.

Team Homan (World Rank #1) went 11-1 against Team Hasselborg (Rank #12) the last three years

Today it was not meant to be. We will not get the anticipated #1 vs #2 game for the gold medal.

Tirinzoni will play Hasselborg (2 vs 12).

Homan will play Peterson (1 vs 13) for bronze.

After a few team misses in the 8th, Rachel Homan throws an up-up-up weight takeout on two glued rocks, correctly predicting the drag effect, to execute perhaps the most difficult triple I've ever seen ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Leads to a draw for 2 and team Canada takes a lead to the 9th!!

#1 Canada (Homan) has now lost to:

#13 USA (Peterson)
#21 (Morrison)
#2 Switzerland (Tirinzoni)

Three consecutive upsets for Rachel Homan in the biggest bonspiel, 4 years in the making. But we live, we love, and we learn.

Fog rolling in across a low field, as seen from a backyard deck. Snow is everywhere, the sky is a hazy pink. Two birds sit near a feeder containing suet.

I expect the judges will keep an eye on Team Jacobs now, that Marc Kennedy will stop poking rocks, and that Team Canada will continue to win games.
