Curling

One of my coworkers went through the trouble of organizing a curling team so now I'm on a curling team! We had enough people to fill two teams and a few of us were willing to pay out-of-pocket to join the curling club so we could have regular practices. We had our first match last night and managed to trail by only four points at the end of a two hour game despite the fact that my team had never practiced together before.

With this many Scandinavians hanging out together if curling doesn't work out I think we have a future as a metal band.

Brooming is surprisingly difficult. I only fell down once!

The stones are a little obstinate but the game is still fun even if you don't have any experience.

Update: Unfortunately, even though the other Nordic team borrowed our Swedish guitar player it also lost its first game; They lost in style though.

I have another practice today after work and our next game is in a week!
