If you have a new born, or know someone with a new born, get an email address for them and send emails throughout their lives.
Then get people to send pics and messages. Your kid will love it later in life.

Things are going really badly for Canada mixed-doubles 🥌.
They haven't won a game for a few days. They are missing the wrong way, and sometimes badly.
Oh, and they are married. The drama is real.

I had my doubts about GB in mixed curling. None of them were based on their ability to throw the rock, just on the ability to sweep it.
Mouat is one of the most ridiculously confident throwers of the rock, maybe ever.
But sweeping, yo. Dude's a skip.

Havertz and Jesus probably playing off each other up top. I love this lineup.
Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Zubimendi, Rice, Havertz, Trossard, Madueke, Jesus.
Subs: Arrizabalaga, Mosquera, White, Hincapie, Eze, Martinelli, Gyokeres, Norgaard, Lewis-Skelly.

As you sit and watch and marvel at 🥌, remember, if you Google "curling near me," you can find out if Curling is indeed near you.
It is in every state in the US, and most towns in Canada, so you're bound to find it in Canada or the US.

First black end of the mixed-doubles 🥌 competition in the Canada / Italy game.
Probably the only one, since a blank means losing the hammer.

Curling tip: if don't have hammer, and you're playing a run back on the second thrower's last, you're in a boatload of trouble.
See, for example, this 🥌 line score.

If you're loving all the 🥌 on TV for the Olympics, Google "curling near me," and I'll bet there is an open house coming up near you where people will teach how to sweep and why they yell "hard."

If team GB lose a semi-final in mixed doubles 🥌, will it stay with Mouat?
Especially if it is on a miss.
Could that be a factor in the fours?

The mixed doubles 🥌 starts today. Mixed doubles is hard to pick, because everything can happen in an end.
But I really like the US team for a couple of reasons.
First. Cory Thiesse is a third throwing last rock. She has some experience skipping and a lot of success.
