RZ -I have many southern friends who absolutely love curling. I like it, I even watched the show "how its made" showing how the stones were manufactured. Did you know the Norwegian team PANTS has its own FB fan page. :-)
I prefer the "faster" sports. I'm skeered of heights, so there is no way on God's frozen earth, I'm sliding down the side of a mountain. I really appreciate when others make it seem so easy.
