I’m watching woman’s European Curling on tv

@Mamapolo2016 Curling is one sport I think I could get into.

@LeopoldBloom If you do, she'll cheer for you.

@Mamapolo2016 It’s a lot of fun! And social

@LeopoldBloom to watch or participate?

@Ghostinthemachine Excellent! If I get a free ticket, I'll pass it on.

@Ghostinthemachine Maybe all that sweeping reminds me of cleaning up after the Bear Camp Neanderthals Beer Bacchanalian Revel in a past life.

@Mamapolo2016 you should use it and go, it’s a fun time!

@Mamapolo2016 nice alliteration ☺️

@Ghostinthemachine I didn't actually get a ticket. Whew.

Ice-based sports aren't frequent in the desert.

@Mamapolo2016 Phoenix and Las Vegas both have hockey teams

@Ghostinthemachine
Phoenix pop - 4,584,000
Las Vegas - 2,772,000

Santa Fe - 87,505

🤷‍♀️

@Mamapolo2016 I just searched it and Santa Fe has two ice rinks, and another two more in Albuquerque :)

@Ghostinthemachine Yes, I know. I even know we have curling. I just don't like it.

@Mamapolo2016 have you tried it?

@Ghostinthemachine I can't skate. So, no, I haven't. I should have said I don't like watching it.

I am delighted that you DO like it.

@Mamapolo2016 I can understand not enjoying watching it, but if you played it, then you would probably appreciate watching it more, for their skill and strategy.
You don’t need to skate to curl, you have one gripping shoe and one slider, and it’s best not to confuse the two or you can take a tumble

@Ghostinthemachine At 70, tumbles are not high on my to-do list.

@Mamapolo2016 nor should I. Maybe the only ice you encounter should be in your glass :)
