<<We're lucky enough to get Canadian TV here, so I am able to watch all the major tournaments. Wonderful stuff!>> I used to watch Curling on my satellite dish but now the guides don't carry the Canadian programming. I liked their candle pin bowling too. I talked to a lady from Ontario who went to Minnesota for a curling tournament. She was impressed by the fancy liquor bottles, ie, Elvis, birds ... all the fancy decanters and bought about 2 dozen bottles of whiskey to get the bottles. When Canadian Customs asked if she had any alcohol she replied "Oh boy do I have a lot of whiskey, would you like to see it". The customs guy did want to take a look and when she started gushing over the pretty bottles he told her to shut the trunk and get down the road before someone saw it all.

I get a big kick out of watching televised bowling, when schedule permits. Curling is like that, only more so because of the chesslike quality to which you allewd. Waht is "shot rock"? I've been able to pick up much from grabbing eyefuls (eyesful?) while multitasking at the parent dealie, but I haven't rec'd enlightenment on that term. I get a fit of grins when an official (by some unwritten law, always someone who could teach a librarian about "silent and stern") is called upon to produce the Implement and measure an arguable tie. Such ceremony.
