Curling Kudos!

Hearty congratulations to Team USA on their victory over Canada Wednesday night at the 2007 Men's World Curling Championships in Edmonton, Alberta. With a 6-5 defeat of Sweden yesterday, the curlers have secured a spot in the final four-team tournament. Two brothers, Todd and Kevin Birr, from Mankato, Minnesota (my college town) are members of Team USA.
