tropicurl!

The past three bonspiels I've gone to, I've made it to the first event final and then lost; at last year's Tropicurl in just five or six ends, then at the Funspiel in eight where we were doing okay except for one very bad end, and then at the Cherry Blossom in eight where ditto. This year, we went to the Tropicurl big event final and won!, which is the first time I've won a grown-up bonspiel (having previously won the big event at five-and-under bonspiels, and lower events at five-and-unders and ordinary spiels), so I want to record what happened before I forget the details. :-)

noooooo

The "Law & Order" marathon just wound up on TNT, and as the last episode ended they flashed a title card that said "In Memorium [sic][a couple of names I didn't recognize]". IN MEMORIUM. WHY. WHY. WHY.

I mean, this is big-time television. Guy puts out Swiss cheese and nothing else, and they don't have anyone who can say hey, it's actually "in memoriam", guys, might want to re-type that?

GAH.
