My mother and I love Curling as did my Father when he was alive. We watch most tournaments on TV and know everything about the top teams, their players and their personalities which always have an effect on play. It's a slow, mental game that requires knowledge of the ice surface and the speed of the rocks and how to best sweep before the rocks to influence where they final end up. It's like shuffle board for adults on a larger scale.
Well this weekend is the start of the Brier in Edmonton Alberta. This is as big as Curling in Canada gets with the exception of the Olympics. Most of the top guys who have ruled the game for years are back so it's a battle of the titans. My Mother is for team Alberta, Skipped by Kevin Martin.
If her team wins, then I have to hold a contest to give away this gorgeous Katniss Everdeen doll from the movie The Hunger Games. It's a beautiful piece with a fifty dollar value. I have two in immaculate condition and wish to gift out one of them. Over time I want to share my collection with others and thought this would be a fun and creative way to do some of that.
So if you want to take advantage of my wrong curling analysis, send me your email for a chance to win the Katniss. I will choose a winner NEXT SUNDAY - March 10 after the Brier crowns a new winner. I choose Manitoba and the team of Jeff Stoughton.
I will be giving away the Katniss anyways while scamming my Mom to buy me a figure set that I am trying to resist. If I am gifted the Monster High figures I feel better about having them in my collection.

Oh yes please count me in.
You know I'm torn between Team Alberta (my current home province) and Team Manitoba (my former home province). I'm almost kind of a homeless person, like poor Mike Duffy. But yes, please enter my name in your Katniss draw!
Done.
You mean poor corrupt Mike Duffy? He stood up to spending in government but when he gets the cushy Senate job he is the first one to the trough. Breaks my heart.
I just got a feeling that Stoughton is due. He wants that trip to the Olympics so much and I think with the team he has he can finally get the gold and retire. Plus I had Morris (Martin's third) - he is just so smug and handsome and smug.
