The best time I've ever had sweeping

Remember how my company played cricket a few months ago? Today we went curling. And you know what? Curling is an actual sport, not, say, a stand-around-and-drink sport. There are two parts to it. The first part, that I had a hard time doing because of my knee, involves squatting down and balancing (on ice) before shoving off with one foot and pushing a 42-pound stone down the ice. The other part, which I was surprisingly good at, involved hurrying along (on ice) in front of the stone, sweeping the ice to make the stone move farther. Or so they claimed. Anyway, it was a lot of fun, I only fell down once, and my team won, so it was a fun time. And boy, are my muscles tired.

But did you wear the PANTS?

Is that the horribly slippery bootie thing? If so, yes. And it was slick.
