Went curling tonight for the very first time EVER. Had SO MUCH FUN. (yes, a capslock amount of fun). Actually left the house for something other than work or parenting, which is a far too infrequent occurence. Fell over on the ice and hit my head, but did I mention the fun? There's something highly appealing about sliding big rocks down a sheet of ice.

*am feeling very Canadian, and also like I now want one of the big cardigans with a deer on it*

It's a bit hard not to equate your level of enjoyment with some form of head injury : )
But I remember how fun curling was in high school... and sometimes it is fun to do something quintessentially Canadian.
Yay for you, for doing something just for yourself!!!
(Um... do you *really* want one of those sweaters?)

Does that mean that I so rarely express enthusiasm that you think it's a sign of head injury?

re: those sweaters
I think it will pass. But I might keep my eyes open for a vintage one.

It's not the rock hurling portion of curling I find hard to accept. In fact I rather enjoy watching Olympic curling, and listening to the men shouting, "Hard! Hard!" at each other. It's the fact that the fun involves brooms. Brooms! You went out and had fun with brooms. What's next? a sport involving sorting the laundry?

Glad you had fun! Your Canadian-ness is part of what makes you so lovable.

You know there's a curling movie with Paul Gross called Men with Brooms, right? And it has a very stoned Leslie Neilson playing his father.

Canadian Trivia Time: Did you know that Leslie Neilson's brother was a federal cabinet minister?

Tell me, how does... curling work? I'm sure I could gain a very wikipedia education on my own, but I want to hear it from your mouth, like all other things Canadian.

You slide the giant rocks down the ice and hope your team has the rock closest to the bullseye.

My, what attractive men you have there. By there I mean in Canada. Possibly.

Yes, some of them are quite tasty looking. *points at Patrick Huard icon*
