Shot Rock

I've been watching curling at the Vancouver games. Yes, I'm one of those, a closet curling fan. Having grown up in a winter state bordering Canada, I've actually curled. It's really nothing but shuffleboard on ice. Most important, a player can be older than twenty to do it. In fact, older folks have far more guile than young ones.

It's a game of strategy and contemplation. Skill with a broom is a necessity, not to mention the strength to propel a sixteen pound rock down the ice and keep from falling over.

The other important thing is a pair of really warm socks.
