Default Great hobby to anyone interested..

Yes curling....a great new sociable hobby and if you were up here you could learn from the best.
The Men's World Championships are going on right now in the city and Canada is doing very well...one loss against about 10 wins.

Quite the story on how popular this sport has become in China over 4 short years. On an elimination tournament 175 million Chinese watched on tv...that's more than the combined world viewing audience for the Stupor Bowl. Go figure!

Yes, a janitor would really appreciate curling. As about exciting as
watching shovel board.

Well, the Canadians whomped the hell out of everyone in the Olympics, so I'd expect
they'd do well now. I wonder how many TV stations there are in China. If the Chinese
are forced to watch only the 'government approved' station, that may explain the
popularity of curling in China.

I would be bored out of my noggin. And I dealt with janitors in my years
of working. Most good people. Most not brilliant.

I'm sure you did an excellent job, Donnie. You wouldn't be collecting a
pension if you didn't.
