Curling is not that familar sport in the USA....from some stats given over this past week apparently in Canada there are well over 1 million people who are active registered curlers at local clubs whereas in the USA there is only 15 thousand ........explains a bit why curling is more popular and very well televised now in Canada....and over in Europe curling is becoming more and more active along with countries like Korea, Japan and China.....China won last years worlds competition......the skip of the ladies USA team is actually a young woman born in Canada and later became a US citizen.....she won the worlds a couple of years ago for the USA.....
I think Doris is an armchair curling fan as well if I remember right.....
hope everyone is safe and warm, especially those in the n/eastern states and southern Ontario...apparently there is a heavy winter snow storm coming thru once again.....it certainly has been a weird winter....we have had very cold but the amount of snow so far is barely 25% of what we had this time last year....but March isn't even here yet so the shovels will stay ready to go !
