Is it Friday yet???

Not too much to report this week. My UGA bulldogs played a great first half followed by an incredibly painful to watch second half against LSU in the SEC championship game last saturday. It blows my mind that a team can look so good and then so horrible in the same game. Of course, no one expected them to win, but it would have been nice for them to pull it out. The broadcasters were so heavily biased towards LSU, it was getting pretty annoying by the end of the game. I would have loved for UGA to pull it out, those two dumb masses would have been speechless.
The PHD's ended up in a three way tie for the fourth seed in the curling tournament. After a coin toss and a couple rounds of rock, paper, scissors, we ended up in the 6th spot. That worked out well for us as the 6th place team plays the 3rd place team in the first round of the tourney. I was pretty sure we could take them after they barely beat us the week prior. Even better, 6th place took us out if the #1 team's side of the bracket; we won't have to face them unless we make it to the final round.
If you suspect that I put some thought into this prior to the coin toss and RPS, you would be correct. Once I lost the coin toss for 4th, I intentionally lost the rock, paper, scissors match. I realized the other guy was always going to throw rock, so I just threw a couple scissors and 6th place was ours, hopefully my plan works out. (Insert evil laugh here)
We then went out for that first game and whooped up on the #3 team who had beat us 8-6 last week. We won 12-3 after only playing 7 of the 8 ends. (No way to come back from 9 down with only one end left and a max of 8 points available) Hopefully my plan will continue progressing next week! (continue the evil laugh)
Posts are better with photos, so here is what i see for 8 plus hours per day x 5 days a week. Exciting, right? I will say that having the laptop display and the LCD monitor running together is quite nice. I can have a spreadsheet open on one and a cad drawing open on the other. It definitely comes in handy.
