I went to see women's curling, this afternoon, with my clubhouse. We took the Canada Line skytrain there and back. There were four competitions going on, at once. Sweden vs Russia, Great Britain vs the USA, Denmark vs Switzerland and Germany vs China. I was cheering on Britain, the whole time. It was a 9 hour day. I had a lot of fun. I thought that the Swiss fans were saying, "Hot treats!" so I started saying it. It was really neat, riding the skytrain in the dark, seeing the bright city lights. I had a wonderful trip. :)

That's cool! Are you a fan of curling? Did you go to Canada just to see the Olympics? Stop by in the US, haha.

Tossing the caber even moreso.

Anyway, apparently Scotland has originated many sports, including curling:

I'm just staying home and avoiding the Olympic crowds -- good for you having fun, thouh.

Shoving rocks across ice > everything.
