4-0-1

Remember last Tuesday? I don't remember a lot about it either, but I do recall writing this blog where I wondered out loud whether a tie constituted a continuing winning streak. The general consensus, and that being the two people who actually responded directly to my question, was that it counted as an unbroken streak without a loss. I could legitimately go on wearing what I had worn for the streak. So I donned my 'lucky' Sheamus hoodie again last night.

We won 11-7 in a game which was not as close as the score.

Four wins, no losses, one tie in our last five games. I guess Sheamus returns again next Monday. The question is, do I wash the hoodie? You can wash out the luck, you know...

Curling Dilemma

I did not wear my usual curling sweatshirt four weeks ago, but, rather, one based on the wrestler Sheamus from World Wrestling Entertainment. It features a Gaelic cross on the front (Sheamus is Irish) and the word 'laoch' which means 'warrior' in Irish, on the back. I curled great as did the team and we won. So I wore it the next week.

And we won. So I wore it a third time.

And we won. So I wore it last night.

We tied.

I don't know what to do now. Does a non-loss count as keeping a streak alive?
