While at the Grits N Granite Bonspiel I was asked to take up the second position at another bonspiel the following week. As I was still out of work, I naturally agreed and headed for Atlanta for the Night of the Curling Dead Bonspiel. This was yet another opportunity to get some experience at another curling venue, visiting friends in the area and take in some local attractions
Our team name was “Icy Dead People” and Amazon came through with perfect shirts to keep us uniform, though we didn’t win the costume contest. The ice at Peachtree was quick and it took repeated adjustments through our games to figure it out. While there were close games throughout the weekend, we weren’t able to secure our spot in the semi-final matches.
While I did not experience winning on the ice, I did find a sense of victory in the form of raffle prizes. I locked down two for myself. One was the Cube of Beer representing beers from the Orlando area and the second was a basket full of mini games. I also took home a lesson learned from a fellow curler. What was it, a name stamp. While I was writing my name 80 times on raffle tickets, they used an address stamp to apply their name to the same allotment of tickets in a fraction of the time.

Throughout the great design of things you get an A with regard to effort. Where exactly you actually confused me was first in all the details. You know, people say, the devil is in the details… And that couldn’t be much more accurate at this point. Having said that, allow me inform you what exactly did work. Your article (parts of it) is certainly highly engaging and that is most likely the reason why I am taking the effort to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, despite the fact that I can easily see a leaps in logic you come up with, I am not certain of how you appear to connect your ideas which produce your conclusion. For the moment I shall subscribe to your issue but wish in the future you link your facts better.
