Curling: Chess on ice at the Ardsley Curling Club
Apr 15, 2012
A broom. A stone. A pebbly sheet of ice. A lot of men. What is...hm...something to do with Halloween? An initiation for phi sigma delta cosine? It's CURLING silly! Or more specifically, curling at the Ardsley Curling Club in Westchester County, New York, where I had a chance to learn about this ancient sport during the 73rd Annual McKay-Douglas International Bonspiel. Did you know "bonspiel" means "curling tournament?" Did you know curling is commonly referred to as "chess on ice" because of the strategy and concentration involved? Although it also reminded me of a pool tournament judging by the angle and geometry involved in manipulating the stone. Did you know a curling club is also a great way to meet men? I learn so much from doing my website...My thanks to Vic Huebner, event chairperson of the bonspiel, as well as Bill Peskoff, Eric Blassneck and Don Baird from the Plainfield Curling Club for educating me on the art and complexity of curling. Now I'm ready to watch it during the Olympics as a somewhat knowledgeable fan! See more interesting video stories at www.lifeskate.com

Bag piper at PCC Stone Curling Bonspiel
Aug 16, 2010
Bag piper at the 2009 PCC Stone Curling bonspiel. Named for Peter C. Christopherson, father of a founding member, the PCC Stone, our four-event annual Men’s bonspiel starts tonight, March 5, 2009. Eighteen teams, including teams from Triangle, Ardsley, Philadelphia, Norfolk, Potomac, Nutmeg, and of course Plainfield will compete through Sunday. Curl at the finest club in the state of New Jersey. (Okay, it’s the only club in the state but it would be the finest even if there were others.) Terrific food all weekend long, generous pours from the PCC bartenders and great competition. If you’re not from the Tri-State area, here’sa chance to curl and maybe even take in a bit of New York City between games. It’s our second year offering money for victories. We’re not talking huge dollars and you won’t get a mitt full of Andrew Jacksons for every win but it was popular last year and we’re doing it again. We’re sure you’ll like the dough more than a pin. There’s also a Calcutta so you have a chance to win money even if your team doesn’t earn it on the ice.

Apr 25, 2012
It's been a fixture in Plattsville for a long LONG time, in fact, according to Jimmy Thompson [aka 'Cracker'] it's "almost as old as dirt". We're talking about the infamous RoseSpiel at the Plattsville Curling Club [where way back roses were the prizes!] Things get rolling with a 7am great breakfast at Cec's, followed by some crazy curling with a few special rules, some lunch and a few beers to wash it down, MORE crazy curling, then BBQ'd steaks [sometimes cooked INDOORS], turkey shoots, a few curling shoes being burned in the middle of the ice, a couple of keg races, dice games, freezer jumping contests, Karaoke over at Shakers Bar, all this while consuming pails of beer and other libations; it's all part of this day-long night-long fun event. Hey, where were YOU when the RoseSpiel was going on?

Lake of Monteith ~ Ice Skating & Curling 2010
May 08, 2012
Lake of Monteith 9th January 2010................... The Lake of Menteith (Scottish Gaelic "Loch Innis MoCholmaig"), is a loch in Scotland, located on the Flanders Moss, the flood plain of the upper reaches of the rivers Forth and Teith, upstream of Stirling. Until the early 1800s, the more usual Scottish name of Loch of Menteith was used. The only settlement of any size on the Lake of Menteith is Port of Menteith. The are a number of small islands in the loch. On the largest, Inchmahome, is Inchmahome Priory, an ancient monastery. The priory served as refuge to Mary Queen of Scots in 1547. She was only four years old at the time and stayed for three weeks after the disastrous Battle of Pinkie Cleugh in September of that year. The Loch is not particularly deep and can freeze over completely in exceptionally cold winters. If the ice becomes thick enough — at least 7 inches (18 cm) — an outdoor curling tournament called The Bonspiel or the Grand Match is held on the loch. The event can attract thousands of curlers despite its rarity. The last Grand Match was held in 1979. The Lake of Menteith is often thought of as the only body of water in Scotland that is referred to as a lake. Actually, there are others, including four small artificial bodies: Pressmennan Lake, the Lake of the Hirsel, Lake Louise (within the grounds of Skibo Castle) and Cally Lake (near Gatehouse of Fleet). There is also a sea bay near Kirkcudbright known as Manxmans Lake. Nearly all other major bodies ...
