Hey I am really happy to see someone into that sport. I seen it in the Olympics for a long time and like it.

It is not big here in my country though. Anything with ice people don't like here.

I wish it would be more popular. I don't get no games on TV either.

It's a fun sport like baseball. If you're playing, there's a lot of game going on before you might get back to throwing rocks again .. and, like baseball. If you are watching it .. it's more enjoyable to watch the whole game and get into it, than just the hilights .. otherwise it might be more enjoyable to watch a bandaid being pulled off your scraped knee .. or, like watching paint dry .. a kettle boil .. snow melting .. etc etc.

I curled!!!! We took curling as part of our phy ed requirements up north near the canadian border. Minnesota team took home the gold last olympics. I've toyed with getting a team together, just hard to find rinks here (2?) and people willing to create a league.

It's like bowling on ice. Would love to have more chances to curl... more curling rinks!
