Mind you , I prefer the alternative...

but being stuck at home these days has led to a great appreciation for the sport of curling.
It's fascinating. It's a strange melange of shuffleboard, chess, and bocce. On ice. I'm addicted. I just wish the little girls on Team USA weren't a bunch of chokers. They're so perky and cute. And of course, one of the girls is the obligatory pudgy friend. They would be a great reality show that nobody'd watch.
And women's hockey. Team USA's captain, Krissy Wendell, has moves and hands that remind me of Denis Savard. She humbles all men.
Now that men's hockey has started, the 7AM - 5PM area of my day has a purpose. I go through the job boards and apply, apply, apply. I do some minor project work for a friend. And I flip around on NBC's coverage of the Olympics. (The daytime coverage is a billion times better than the primetime stuff. Sure, they're only showing curling, biathlon, and hockey, but it's all live and you don't have to put up with too much "Up Close and Personal" bullshit. It's all action, baby.)
