An Edmonton curling club shared this online, from a @globeandmail essay I wrote years ago. Still works. #curling

Pg 53: the most powerful #curling story in a while. "truly outrageous that elite players such as Carey, Galusha, Jones, Homan, and Nixon get CRITICIZED for their competitive nature... The double-standard is sickening." This conversation has to keep going. Thank you @AlCameronCC

My name is Kaitlyn Lawes. Some of you may “know” me from my curling career. For those who don’t, I am a 2x Olympic Champion, and a World Champion in my sport. But, what many of you don’t know is my story. braintumour.ca/blog/brain-tu… Join Kaitlyn by wearing #HatsForHope on Oct 24!

Can I ask @justinbieber and @ladygaga and ALL others with concerts scheduled for this summer to CANCEL and not postpone their concerts so your FANS who have spent hundreds, or more, on tickets can get refunded... we will come back, but many can use the money, I’m sure. – at Toronto, Ontario

Anytime you need a thoughtful, rational, informed, opinion about all things #curling - just read @curlingzone tweets. Gerry knows all and sees the big picture. Also, he is far more patient than I am, so he's less likely to quit when people are spouting moronic opinions.

So my upcoming YA novel, Skating Over Thin Ice, features a Canadian junior hockey star who beats up a Swedish player named Andersson at the #WorldJuniors. Hmmm. Might need to edit a bit... #anderssonisreal
