It’s been a while since I brought up curling with anyone, but I found an unexpectedly willing friend tonight who is as interested in learning/trying curling as I am.

I thought I had lost that potential when I moved away from Pittsburgh and from Brian Gray.

Nonetheless, excited, I came home and looked it up on the Internet and found a Bay Area Curling Club which gives one-time lessons, summer lessons series, and offers league play.

I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but I could easily see myself getting consumed into this world.  I can’t think of any more joyful way to spend a summer evening than in an ice rink, watching a round stone with a handle glide down the ice while yelling at my wife and teammates to broom harder and faster.
