You get really good at keeping an even spread of weight on your foot while wearing a curling slider. I took a few nasty spills with those things. Cracked the ice once but I think that was from my broom and not a body part.

What...what's a curling slider?

You ever watch curling? Players have a slider on one foot. That's so they can slide along the ice when they throw the stones (balancing on the sliding foot). The ice is textured, so if you have normal shoes on you don't actually slide much. Players will also use the slider food to travel along the ice, kicking off with the foot that has the grip on it. Takes some getting used to. The texturing is also why people sweep like crazy with the brooms, manipulating resistance and such to get the rock where they want it.

-blinks a few times-

Oh. OH. That thing. Okay.

Heh. Curling is one of those sports that's actually pretty cool once you know what you're looking at. I imagine that is the way with a number of sports though.

Except for hockey. I know beans about hockey, just the requisite instinctual knowledge that I have as a Canadian, but I still watch it now and then.

Sounds like fun XD

Welp, time to spend the next few weeks turning the 7 in 2017 into an 8 when I good up the date.

I think you meant goof? It's late Bubs, go to bed!

yup yup time to goof up the new year XD

At least it is an easy number to fix! 2 to 3 and 4 and 5 is hard!

Last year was a pain. 6 does not turn into 7 easily lol

I'll likely mess up the date a few times, too.
