Sad news from the world of curling
The Norfolk Curling Club was burned to the ground, last night, in a random act of senseless violence.

I played there a couple of times. It was a very nice, quaint club in the northwest corner of Connecticut.

Very sad (it's about 25 minutes from me). There was another fire in Norfolk last night as well that may be related!

Read that as well today. The two fires were related. Damn kids.
Colexis, are you in Torrington? The two times I went to events at Norfolk, the closest hotels were in Torrington about 30-35 minutes drive away.

What leads anyone to be this vicious and mean is beyond me!!
I really hate this for all those during this time of year, but very glad no one was hurt, or more seriously, killed.
