Since there wasn’t much else on TV for about two weeks (and it was too cold to go outdoors and bicycle) I watched a lot of Olympic sports. Most of the time I was in awe of those who could jump and flip on skates, skis or snowboards. My thought was always, “If I tried that, I’d wind up dead.”
Until I saw Curling. Then I thought, “I’d like to try that. Looks kinda like a cross between bowling and shuffleboard.” So I Googled “curling clubs near me” and found the Palmetto Curling Club. Tonight I went to their open house and tried curling for the first time.
It’s not as easy as it looks on TV, let me tell you. First time I tried to deliver a stone, I almost wound up flat on my face. It took me at least six tries before I could deliver a stone that even went past the hog line. And that sweeping you see them doing, it’s a real workout.
Over all, I had a great time, but it’s expensive to participate in a league (more cash than bowling) so I think I’m just gonna stick to riding my bike for exercise. That’s expensive enough.
