    After three weeks of non-stop curling coverage, the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games have come to a close.

    I’m exhausted.

    The team put in an amazing shift, produced some spectacular content all while dealing with a crazy amount of interest from the international press. Despite not all of our press being ideal, we helped promote the sport and hopefully increased the awareness and interest in curling outside of the Games.

    This is my third Winter Games and it brought a very different set of challenges than the other two.

    I’ll be back in Cortina in just over a week for the Paralympic Winter Games and I’m sure that once that event has passed, I’ll write a longer piece on the whole experience.

    But for now, we’re going to celebrate as a team, then take some well earned rest.

    I’m not one for creating New Year’s resolutions.

    Occasionally, these things line up with the calendar or just make more sense to complete within a clear calendar year.

    One of the new goals on my list is my intention to make time to read for enjoyment rather than just work.

    My reading habit began to falter in the last few years and the number of books I got through decreased… dramatically.

    It’s been quite a while since I felt the need to have my own blog. Social media took over the landscape and my day job took all of my writing energy, leaving me with no real desire to manage my own website.

    My main site has changed over the years, domains have come and gone, the purpose of the site has flipped from a single page that directed people to all of my other channels to a writer’s portfolio and back again.

    But I find myself, at the beginning of 2025, missing the ability to write long form content on any subject I feel like. So, with that in mind, I’ve decided to launch this site as a blog.
