I COULDN'T COMPETE THIS WEEKEND BECAUSE WE HAD A PRIOR ENGAGEMNENT ON SATURDAY,
CURLING TO BE EXACT, FOR THE FIRST TIME AS WELL. SO I SCANNED THE BAND ON FRIDAY
EVENING BEFORE BED TO SEE WHAT WAS AROUND. I WAS LOOKING SPECIFICALLY FOR NEW
ONES TO UP MY DXCC COUNT. I HAD PLANNED TO GET UP EARLY ON SATURDAY TO CATCH
ASIA PACIFIC BEFORE SUNRISE BUT SLEPT IN AND MISSED THAT OPPORTUNITY.

SATURDAY WAS A LONG, COLD, BUT FUN DAY AT THE CURLING RINK. BECAUSE WE WERE ALL
NEW TO THE SPORT, I OFFERED TO SWEEP FOR THE XYL AND OUR YL TEAM MATE, WHICH
MEANT THAT I SWEPT FROM 1030 TO 1600. WHEN WE GOT HOME SATURDAY NIGHT I WAS JUST
A LITTLE SORE AND A LITTLE TIRED!! SO I MISSED SATURDAY NIGHT AS WELL. I MANAGED
TO HAUL MY SOMEWHAT SORE BODY OUT OF BED EARLY SUNDAY MORNING AND WORKED A FEW
MORE BEFORE SUNRISE. THANK HEAVENS FOR THE AUTO KEYER AND MEMORY AS MY HANDS
WERE A LITTLE ROUGH ON THE KEYER AFTER GRIPPING A BROOM ALL DAY SATURDAY. I
DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER CHECKING SUNDAY NIGHT AS WE HAD A NICE HOT TURKEY DINNER WITH
ALL THE FIXINGS INSTEAD. 

I HAD SAID TO MYSELF ON FRIDAY THAT IF I MANAGED TO WORK ONE NEW ONE IT WOULD BE
A UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS SINCE I COULDN'T COMPETE. WELL I WORKED 5 NEW ONES!! NOW I
AM AT #97 WITH ONLY 3 MORE NEEDED TO THE MAGIC 100 COUNTRIES WORKED ON 160. 

NEXT YEAR I PLAN TO BE SERIOUS. OH YEAH, WE [ MYSELF AND THE XYL ] REALLY
ENJOYED CURLING AND WILL BE DOING IT AGAIN SOON. BUT HOPEFULLY NOT ON A CONTEST
WEEKEND!!
