Mark Pioli/CTAL/CTC 10/28/2005 04:21 PM Subject Pioli Papers - Game On 2005 Opening night, The dust was brushed off the brooms, Bruce and Mike pulled out their worn 15 year old blue curling sweatshirts, the ones that have CTAL Information Systems sewn into the sleeve,from the closet. Mark pulled out his 15 year old white sweatshirt that is now yellow. Mauro had his 15 year old broom that still looks brand new On the board CTFS RBC, little did we know that was an acronym for Really Bad Curlers. The night started out with the team down 6 after 3 ends, it is not a good sign when after a 3 point end went up on the scoreboard, our skipped remarked that he only thought they scored 1 point. After the 3 ends, things started to change, Mauro was starting to keep track of the rocks, and all the debris from the bottom of Mike shoes Seagull shit on the bottom of his shoes from the SugarLoaf Marina , that resulted in about 5 burned rocks finally was cleaned up. Garth, the team started to pull together, 1end, 2 ends, 3 ends but the comeback fell a little short, but we came back to win 4 ends. I am afraid to say we lost our opening game. See you next week Garth...we will be trying to get back to 500 PS: if you want to spend some of the $1,000 you won from manager of the year, to buy us some new uniforms it would be appreciated. Remember your only as good as the people who are doing the work for you.
