bronze is a lovely color

Alas, Team Norway lost to Canada this afternoon in the semifinal (but, it must be said, they looked great doing it).  Back on the ice at 7pm for the all-new bronze medal match, in which they defeated China, which is probably as it should be.

Tomorrow, my boys Team Scotland face Canada again, and I don't know if they can count on lightning striking a second fourth, fifth, etc. time -- that is, having stolen three successive points Friday on bad luck and plain misses by Kevin Martin, it's probably not reasonable to expect Kevin Martin to miss another shot like ever again (he didn't against Norway; even when his second and vice just plain fluffed their shots in one end, Martin cleaned up and forced Ulsrud to blank when he had been looking at taking three or four, so I'm saying, the guy is back on).  So they will absolutely need to bust out their A-double-plus game, and even that may not be enough.

In short:  not that I'm going to say so to the Scots I'll be cheering with at the game tomorrow afternoon, but I'm getting next to the idea that silver is a very nice color, as well.  :-)
