I think it's time to hang it up here on Twitter/X, even if I never learn what happened after the cameras stopped rolling. See you out there in the real world.

Fun fact.. You do not need to be an RCMP member to join the RCMP curling club. Come out to our club this Thursday to check us out.

And what's next for a retired puzzler is a move into the booth. Asked to join up with former UK champion Tom Collyer to provide commentary for the finals.

First time back at the Championships in a few years. Great seeing old friends face to face.

@Teedtbk Sticking with what works until they give me the wrong one. Again.

[Dave Baines @Standuptweets]

Thank you @LauraMahoney12 and the @OPS2020IRL team for the opportunity.

[Dave Baines @Standuptweets]

@JLeiper Or your nicking the kickstand every time around (speaking from experience - after spending too much time eliminating complex possibilities)

[Dave Baines @Standuptweets]

@MikePMoffatt Best of luck. @Teedtbk and I are trying to come up with ways to make it interesting for 50 year olds.

Whereas the @MapleLeafs trade deadline review could be summed up within a single tweet.

@ringer You've got to admire their consistency.

The @OntLiberal leadership race is about to get another entrant: @HuronatWestern professor @KateMarieGraham, who ran in the riding of London North Centre in the 2018 election. She's also responsible for the "No Second Chances" podcast about female political leaders. #onpoli
