CIP-8. One of my favourite photographs! It dates from 1956 and shows action from the opening day of the new season at the Central Scotland Ice Rink, Perth.

This episode was a happy accident of sorts. Â The plan for this week was to interview Adam Kingsbury (former coach of Team Homan) but due to a scheduling conflict, that episode will be released next week. Â The girls were both in Oakville at the Stu Sells Oakville Tankard, one of the stops on the World Curling Tour. Â The plan was to have a brief discussion about their collected experiences. Â However, when you put the two girls together to chat about curling what was meant to be a brief discussion ended up as a full episode. Â The girls talked about what they were doing in Oakville, who they met, their observations with the 5 rock rule, what team they are both excited to watch this season, a celebrity sighting, drink etiquette questions and the all skip Team Einarson pulling out...

Serious post-Brier depression has set in. I want to be back at the Brier. I walk into every room of my house and pretend that I am on TSN. I signed my kidsâ report card with a Sharpie and wrote: âGood Curling, Mike Fournier, Team Quebecâ. I pretend every water cooler conversation I have at work is actually a Media Scrum. I stood outside my house waiting for the Brier Shuttle to pick me up and give me a lift. I picked my kids up at school the other day and as they got in the car said âCount âem up, 1â¦2â¦3 for Team Quebec.â At the conclusion of some âspecial timeâ with my wife, I shouted out âMake the Finalâ¦â.

Yes, I know, it's been more than awhile since I've put fingers to keyboard on my blog site. Thank you to the many who have sent emails and made telephone calls to inquire if I was, well, OK! I doubt I've never been fully OK, but thanks, I'm fine!;nbsp;So what's the reason for the no blogs for several months? I made a deal with myself that I wouldn't write just for the sake of writing. If there wasn't something to say, I wasn't going to say it! But now there is and it's time to reach into the electronic mailbag to answer an email sent from someone for whom I have great respect.

Team North America's lead heading into this final day seems insurmountable but don't tell that to the mostly European Team World supporters. They remember the "Meltdown at Medina" and are hoping for the curling equivalent upset. Fortunately for the North American's there isn't really a disastrous alliterative term I can think of that works with Vegas. However, much to the liking of TSN and the Orleans ticket gate there is still plenty to play for. Pride is always good, especially with so many fans still cheering (sans Packer fans). But more importantly each game and end has some cash money tied to it which could seem pretty useful if you curl for a living and spending your last night in Vegas.

Just for fun, since the Summer Olympics are over and life is all about finding something to fill the void.Here's the qualification table. So far only Korea is qualified as the host nation.Canada - Rachel Homan - They were on the cusp of making it to Sochi, but as fate turned out it was actually Jennifer Jones' turn to represent Canada on the podium. This is a hard one to gauge, as I could also see Jones could repeat as the country, or Chelsea Carey or Val Sweeting or someone else having a hot run at the Roar to wear the maple leaf. Homan's the best on paper in any given tournament. Little has changed this century: politics are better, phones keep improving, and Canada will be the curling gold medal favorite.Korea - EunJung Kim - The host nation's top ranked team is #11....

I wanted to have a forum to discuss minor notes from in and around the curling world. Short House will do that for me, from time to time when I have quick thoughts about goings on you can find them here. Often it is a tall task for me to keep my writing brief but I will try.Sweeping Summit releaseThis past week the World Curling Federation released a statement updating the process of the Sweeping Summit that was held in Kemptville earlier this spring. The statement outlines initial findings and recommendations.As is the norm with the current "instant information" world that we live in, many are craving the full NRC results and data. Patience is not a virtue that sports fans let alone curling fans hold. Although we all would have loved the information to be released in real time in...

Hey
you know what we havent talked about lately? SWEEPING!
Of course, this years buzz topic has already been beaten into the ground. Weve seen a million articles (some of which I wrote), blog posts, videos, and heard a million more anecdotes about what is possible with brush X vs. what you can do with brush Y. There were about 143 different rule changes, depending on which level(s) of competition you played, and endless debates about what sweeping can do, should do, shouldnt do, and what they the associations should...

Jean-Michel Menard's guest blog the other day has seemingly rubbed at least one fellow athlete the wrong way.

I'd count myself extremely lucky to be treated half as good as how he is treated http://t.co/mztiwkzzmuâ;quot; Ivanie Blondin (@IvanieB) April 2, 2015Menard said that he was bothered by the constant erosion of perks and accessibility given to the curlers at the Brier. Of course everything is relative. If you haven't had any of that stuff, you don't know what you're missing. And certainly most other athletes don't get treated as the men curlers do at the Brier. Even the women at the Scotties never had it quite as good as the men.... (click here to view entire post on author's website)
