Will I play competitive again?

I start with an apology for my lack of posts here.

It's hard to be inspired to post when you are not playing competitively.

It's been an odd season. We entered the Zones, lost our first game to Bob Sigurdson in an extra end by an inch, lost our second game to eventual finallist Les Hooper after our third blew out his knee, and that was that.

I entered the MCA as a fifth with Bob Sigurdson, but only to play if they were bumped into the minors. That never happened and they earned a trip to Brandon and the provincials. I won't be going, however, as they decided not to name me as a fifth on their roster. I wasn't expecting them to, so no real loss.

So here we are again. I must begin the painful process of trying to latch on with a competitive team for the third season in a row.

I've discovered one thing in sparing as a front-ender... I much prefer playing third. I'm more engaged watching line on skip's rocks, strategizing and throwing more hits during the game.

If I don't get picked up next season I may re-examine the whole "competitive" thing. We'll see how things go.
