Spent many hours on the @CurlingCanada media bench (aka my kitchen table) covering 🇨🇦 teams around the world. Who needs streaming? The suspense between @worldcurling screen refreshes is awesome! @TeamGushue @TeamHoman

A million years ago when I wrote stories for @CurlingCanada this was one of my faves. Team Howard's curling camp showed how much Glenn & team loved the game & its people. We'll miss you on the ice, @howardfour! curling.ca/blog/2013/10/1…

The spine-tingling #curling memory that will stay with me forever @TeamGushue Thank you! (And then we all followed it up with that party in The Patch...)

Sentimentally transported back to my days on the Curling Canada media bench: long days in a cold arena, followed by late nights in a hotel room, getting media prepared & posted. Ten days of bedlam & bad eating. I loved every minute! (Especially the people!)

An article on Performance Marketing World website analyzes the success of the @bet365 marketing campaign using curling. Okay. But not crazy about the language used: "strange Winter Olympic Sport" & "such an odd little sport." Sigh. performancemarketingworld.com/article/184785…

In the town where I learned how to curl (in a cozy 2-sheeter), curling history is strong - and makes its way into the weekly paper, too. (Also, you can't make this stuff up....) #curling #grassroots

There’s a storm building out there, but it’s @TeamGushue on @TSNCurling and the thermos is full (just in case - tea a necessity) and the next week is all #Brier2023 so, yeah, I’m good! #OnStorm
