I’ve managed to miss or sleep through most of the coverage of my favorite Olympic sport—figure skating.
But every time I turn on the TV…
There’s curling.
Does it ever end?
How many curling teams are there anyway?
How many countries compete?
It seems to me that other sports have just a few days of competition and then they’re over.
But curling is still going on.
And I don’t know, I’m sure it’s just me…
But after watching all the triple loops, lutzes, salchows, and flips …
All the alpine, moguls, cross-country and super G’s …
The hockey, speed skating, bobsledding and luge …
Shaun White doing his double McTwist on the half-pipe…
I find curling a bit…well…
Just a tad…
Boring!
There …
I said it…
Maybe someone needs to say it.
(No offense to the athletes (?) involved.
And on another sport and headline: FEAR PROMPTS BOBSLEDDER TO QUIT
OMG!
I won’t—can’t—criticize because I know fear …
And mine has never involved risking my life …
But as everyone has noted, for this man to come all the way to the Olympics just to drop out …
Well, It’s motivated me.
My fear (of success, if that’s what I have) …
Is not the same as putting my life on the line.
But now that I have a killer query letter (or so my writing colleges have told me) …
It’s time to make the move…
Take a chance…
Put all my training and skill to the test…
Go for the gold and . . .
Submit!
Always, Em-Musing
P.S. I'll keep you updated.
