Thirty-seven curlers and “wannabees” went to the source by bus last Wednesday. In Kitchener they enjoyed the thrill of the game, met the great Canadian curler Guy Hemmings and enjoyed the food and fellowship of other curlers gathered in support of the game. In celebration of winter last Saturday we went to see the movie Chicago in Waterloo. Just to let you know this really is newsworthy, Ralph thinks the last time he went to the movies was to see On Golden Pond in the early 1980s. Thank goodness it was very good and that was a four out of four opinion so perhaps we may go again in this decade. I just love tidbits that agree with my thinking. The cardiac folks are recommending that we eat butter in sensible amounts as compared with margarine of any kind. The reasoning is the body is better suited to digest natural foods as compared to synthetic. Sounds good to me. Now if some of the other advice and research would be that clear. Once again it comes back to us and the need to keep healthy.
