Fun Afternoon

After this morning's draw, I headed into town and ended up at Nike's hospitality area. Shani Davis was in the house - it was certainly neat to see him, but I got an even bigger laugh out of thinking about all the people that kept thinking that Vernon Davis was Shani Davis (because of his jacket with "Davis" on the back).

Vernon is about 3.8 times the size of Shani.

After Nike, I met some new friends from down South. Sandra from the Smokey Mountain Curling Club in Knoxville and Jeff from the Triangle Curling Club outside of Raleigh. They are both pumped to be here - and it was great to be able share a beer with folks that love curling, appreciate college football, and understand what barbeque really is. I think I may go bonspieling with them in June.

Speaking of curling in the south, we have gotten serious enquiries/indications from possible new curling clubs in NC, SC, GA, AL, FL and LA this week.

The South is gonna rise again.

Who woulda thunk that it is gonna be with brooms, rocks and ice?
