SCOTLAND!!!

First:  Heia, Norge!  Norway won the 3-4 match vs. China this afternoon in fine form; the Chinese team lost their mojo and the Norwegians never really lost theirs -- particularly the second, who was groovin' out to the music they were playing between ends.  Note:  they are all quite a lot shorter than (a) they look and (b) I remember.

And then:  Scotland 7 6 Canada in the 1-2 page playoff!!!  Down 6-2 and battled back to win with a deuce and three steals!  Go on, boys!
me:  So can we sit with you all again on Sunday?
Scottish gentleman sitting next to me:  Oh, please do!
WOO-HOO!

(I may have had two or three frozen margaritas during the game and thus be a little buzzy in addition to flying high.  For the record, in the first- or second-end break during the 3-4 match, the PA was playing "Friday I'm In Love" by The Cure, because at this event playing on Friday is the equivalent of playing on Sunday at a bonspiel; and after the 1-2 match, it was playing "Walking on Sunshine", which I am, and the Scots and their families are even more.  Woo!)
