It is not as easy as it looks. TRUST me. It is nothing like bowling...bowling is done with shoes and a solid non slippery floor. Curling consists of wearing these "sliders" over your shoes which make the ice EXTRA slippery. You're co-ordinationg must be spectacular to balance on your slippery foot and non slippery foot fast enough to keep up with the moving rock. Plus..sweeping is killer on the arms.

i just hate my entries b/c they take so long to type, i like your *economy* - it's really interesting, but short & sweet.

globalization makes my head hurt too. i really am distrustful .... but there's so much *potential* there, it seems foolish to dismiss it out of hand. the problem is all the things you cannot see, the predictions you cannot be sure of. that's hardly a profound realization - but it is the one that matters in the end, eh?
