Iâm tired just reading that. All I have to do is drive 5 hours to visit my mom later today. Booooorrring.
I watched some videos on broomgate from about a decade ago. That was pretty tense, too.

The thing that I find kind of funny about this is that one of the Canadian team members had already admitted that it happened and said it wonât happen again before it happened again and there was the bigger confrontation where Kennedy denies that it happened.
secret canadian admirer? met them in niagra falls perhaps?

OK. Itâs even funnier now that the Canadian womenâs curling team has been called today for the same violation that caused yesterdayâs menâs tension.
â100% notâ â0% chance. Thereâs no way. Iâd love to see a videoâ âI think if youâre gonna call them youâre gonna have to show video proof.â
And as theyâre saying that, theyâre showing a slo-mo replay of her clearly doing it.
Canada is 1-3? Not at all what I was expecting.
Canada is sorry for all the inappropriate touching.

I took 5 kids ice fishing yesterday. what a great time. over half the time nobody was fishing. just sitting in the tent on the ice talking and laughing.
Around 1 we werenât catching anything and I suggested we can leave whenever and they all decided no, letâs stay another couple hours.
one of the students also brought his gf, his gf that heâs been seeing for a year or longer and his parents donât yet know about. how clandestine
Iâve gone back to bringing meals for everyone, and its a huge hit because theyâre students and I brought food. Iâve also started bringing tea and ginger cookies for a hot break in the morning and I really am loving that. itâs so awesome to have a hot tea and cookies with these folks, in a tent on the ice. iot as I say, we have tea and biscuits just in case the queen of england drops by.

Ahem: King of England.
Obligatory cheeky popcorn gif:
The biathalon I think is pretty nordic, but it seems like a sport we should be dominating in Canada.
I guess because cross country skiing isnât embedded into our culture like it is over there.
Iâm a nordic skier and that was the only event I was able to get tickets for at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. The speed they travel at made my head spin.
I would gladly accept some inappropriate touching from Canadians.

In the USA when someone does something wrong you say: this is not who we are. This applies here. 
Btw, I loved how the Canadian womenâs curling team went all probabilistic in their remarks.
