Curling part deux

It was the league playoffs, our final appearance of the year. Overall, we didn't do as well as we did last year. We had some moments but just never seemed to get the bits of curling luck that we sometimes got last year. All in all, however, our record was probably a fairly accurate reflection of our cumulative curling abilities.
But the main thing is, spring is arriving, curling is a winter activity. It is a good excuse to get out of the house on a winter evening but once the heat has definitely returned to the outdoors it just doesn't make any sense to go inside to a place with ice on the floor.

And spring is definitely making a comeback. Only about 45 today but with the high sun it was plenty to make almost all of yesterday's snow disappear. In fact, the snow disappeared so rapidly that there was even time for the streets to mostly dry out. This morning the outlook for a ride today was that such a thing was at best an outside possibility. In the end it probably could have been done. The hiatus is definitely over, bicycling resumes tomorrow.
