While visiting Midland, Ontario several years ago, the wife and I went to the municipal curling facility. The local curling club was holding a competition. As luck would have it, we sat next to a gentleman who is very well known in Canadian curling circles. He was a nationally ranked player and his son was on the defending Canadian national champion curling team. He explained the game and told us what to watch for. It was a most enjoyable evening. Curling is like a lot of things. Once you know a little bit about it, it becomes more interesting to watch. It made me somewhat of a curling fan.

Go figure.
