2014 Canada Cup - Pre Game

Time for another exotic vacation - I'm in Camrose for the 2014 Canada Cup of Curling!



Last season I thought my curling gig was up, but I got a surprise phone call a couple months ago asking me to do two events this season! Yay!



I drove down to Camrose (90mins south east of where I live in Edmonton) and went straight to the arena in time for practices. I spent the rest of the afternoon working with my new boss to film a high-larious set of videos with pairs of curlers. Normally I try to avoid talking to the rock stars, but this was a fun job and everyone was in a good mood, and in fine comedic form, so I think it turned out well. I'm still editing the videos and they haven't been published yet, but I'll post links to them in a future post - stay tuned for some laughs!!



That night, I went to the opening banquet. I had awesome dates - my favourite part of working these events is catching up with my Canadian Curling Association (CCA) friends. It's always comforting to know people who you can just pick right back up where you left off with and share a joke and a meal, after 8 months of not seeing them. Fun times.



So my home for the week is the Encana Arena, specifically the media room, where I'm the only girl, so good times. I'm holding my own, and as usual learning from the pros while enjoying the comforts of a hockey dressing room!



This is a short event but I'm quite happy to hang out with everyone and watch some curling for the next 5 days!






Even Umpires get their photo taken!











My office for the week. Nice view. Good people.












Naked handles!












Teams Howard, Koe and Morris hanging out. See, they're still friends!












I shot some great footage for our fun 'Newlywed' game. Watch for the video links later this week!

2017 Fantasy Nascar Picks (Texas)

Welcome to TimersSports Fantasy Nascar Picks - Yahoo - A: Start - Kyle Busch Bench - Martin Truex Jr Reasons - I don't really have a prefer driver here, but I am going with Kyle Busch because I have more starts with him. That is really the only reason I am going with him over Truex Jr. Otherwise, I think they are both pretty close. B: Start - Kyle Larson, Ryan Blaney Bench - Chase Elliott, Clint Bowyer Reasons -I wanted to go with Larson and Elliott, but things worked out okay overall though. I can save my Elliott start from Homestead now. And use Blaney here instead. I think Elliott has a better car, but I won't risk it with him starting so deep in the field. Kurt Busch is the best start-save option in the field for Sunday's race. I also like Ricky Stenhouse Jr as a deep sleeper, too. I also think Jamie Mac will better than he has shown so far this weekend. C: Start - Erik Jones Bench - Ty Dillon Reasons - Heading into the playoffs, I thought that Texas was the place for E...
