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.

This song is supposed to be romantic, right? Have you ever listened to the lyrics? He sings about holding back her hair while she barfs in the toilet after a night of heavy drinking. How is that romantic?
