Indeed! Team Coleman (San Francisco) has won the Mountain Pacific Play-downs and will be traveling to St. Paul, MN for the Women's Club Nationals from March 4 - 10, 2007.
We are humbled by our experience as we are the first women's team from the San Francisco Bay Area Curling Club, and the first from California to win this honor. It is truly a dream of a lifetime. Now I just have to convince myself that it's not a dream. :)
Personally, I want to thank my teammates: Gabrielle Coleman, JoDee Dike-Johnson, and Karen Officer. I have never known a group of women who were more brave or had such beautiful hearts as these ladies of curling. You have changed my life in so many ways.
Then there's our coach Barry Ivy. Your leadership, experience, and friendship are invaluable to us. We hope that we are somehow able to repay you by making you proud.
Brent Halpenny, who sees opportunities before everyone else, thank you for your tireless work preparing JoDee and Karen for the Deaflypics. You recognize the important things and helped to create our team. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
The San Francisco Bay Area Curling Club and it's fabulous and supportive members who cheered us on. We felt your love!
Grandma Glennis who came to support us. I love you so much!
And too our many friends everywhere - thank you for your wishes of Luck.
So all I can say now is -- CURLING IS FOREVER!

THE TRAINING BEGINS AGAIN - 01/08/2006
LET'S START WITH CURLING
As the MoPac Women's Club National Play-downs approach, and after the constant eating, entertaining, and gift-grabbing, I am finally am to concentrate on once again training for Curling.
* It began with water. I have been considerably dehydrated as of late and thus must forego the Champagne for that which is more cleansing
* The gym work-out. I am fortunate to be able to dedicate 45 minutes (occasionally more) to the gym five days per week. While I had Physical Therapy, there were few movements that I could achieve but now I am excited to be able to use the treadmill, weight machines, and free weights
* Head in the game. I bought the book, BETWEEN THE SHEETS. It's about building a championship Curling team - and a primary component seems to the role each member plays and the related team dynamics
* Choices, choices. It's time that I get serious. I need to purchase an appropriate "uniform-style" outfit. As well, I need to purchase replacements slider disks and consider my next evolution of curling shoes

MAGAZINE ARTICLES LOOMING
I've been working on several magazine articles and am finally making good progress. So what is the problem? Well, communication for one thing. Two of these publishers have been slow in communicating -- and that is a distraction for me.

EPISODES AND PODCASTS
Immediately after the Play-downs on the weekend of Jan 20-21, 2007 in Seattle, the plan is that I will promptly begin filming new episodes of THE GOTHIC GOURMET and soon after THE GOTHIC GOURMET PODCAST. The Podcast is a new venture that has long been in the works. I'm excited by the prospect and will soon write more about it.

SCREENPLAYS
I have so many projects going at once and it always seems that my Screenplays are the last on the list since the deadlines of of my on device - yet I do make progress even here. My Action-Adventure is... well... it's the true love of my writing life. It is just a fact of my imagination that it is taking so long to complete. It's High Concept Action-Adventure. Go figure!
Easier, and yet another long in coming screeplay is a short inspired by the great Fellini. I will finish this at month's end, and may possibly begin filming before summertime.
Two other projects are in progress at the request of clients.

AND THE COOKBOOK
Major setback. A primary contributor/chef is experiencing a medical crisis and is unable to continue in our work. And just as I was putting together the plan for the test kitchen.
