Time to Curl

Today I began my quest to become a curling champion. I believe this sport combines my love of the ice and the satisfaction I derive from pursuing a target.

I am anxiously awaiting a call from the Columbus Curling Club to find out how to start. The recorded message says I will hear from someone in the next 48 hours. I'm not sure I can wait that long.

I have great balancing skills. I am good with a stick in my hands. I have strong skills on the ice. I can even lunge like Camilo Villegas.

I can't wait to start. Only 490 more days until the 2010 Vancouver Games. I hope it's not too late.
