Olympic Observations, Part 2

Did you catch that action packed Curling match between the United States and Switzerland? Boy, that was a nail biter!

I mean the Swiss had their own pep band and everything! They were beating on drums, ringing cow bells, chanting...whew!

I was inspired to start shoving big round stones down my own icey driveway, don'tcha know!

All this for a sport, and I use the term lightly, that goes at the speed of drying paint .

By the way, has it ever been determined if Bowling is a sport?

How about NASCAR?

Fishing?

Ah, lawn-darts. Now there was a sport! "Impale your opponent before he can do the same to you"! But wait...I digress.

So, last night I caught the last couple of Snowboardcross (is that all one word?) races. Now that was fun to watch. The US got the GOLD in the men's; I'm looking forward to watching the women's Snowboardcross and Combined tonight.

More to come...
