Lazy Friday

It's that time of the week: curling night! There's only three weeks left in the season (we won't be involved in the playoffs unless six of the other teams succumb to bird flu) and I'm already gearing up for next fall. I have big plans to retire my Asham curling shoes and my 8 Ender and become Rocks Off's only fan, cheering safely and quietly from the other side of the glass.

There is talk of a rock star curling reality show on NBC. Ostensibly, it seems like a cruel joke made at the expense of us terminally uncool Canadians (and perhaps Scots), but I think the idea has legs: Jon Bon Jovi or Bruce Springsteen hosts. Random Americans curl. Olympic dreams are in the balance. So are tight jeans. Cat fights? (likely).

And curlers may not be hip, but Jeff Stoughton definitely rocked some serious hair back in the 90s.
