Bonspiel!

I've found myself a small moment of solitude, during my stay here in Maryland this weekend. I'm one again playing in the Francis Dykes Memorial Bonspeil, and we're still in the first event. (This means we haven't lost a game yet. In curling tournaments, a.k.a. bonspeils, when you lose, you move into 2nd 3rd, and 4th events as you lose, and stay in the event as you keep winning.) We're in the semifinals for the top spot. Cool, to say the least, as i sit here in "business center" of the Holiday Inn were staying at. Next game tonight at 7:45.
Nap time...

Crazy Dave

I met "Crazy Dave" yesterday. I was sitting by myself at the Starbucks in Gillette, NJ, and this guy gets a drink, and sits next to me in the other comfy chair. He introduces himself as "Dave, ...Crazy Dave." He asks, what the name of this place, and writies it down in his book, and than starts asking me about my life story like why i'm here at this time and place and if i'm married with kids, etc., etc. Amusing to say the least.
