This blog began as a way to record my musings about preparations and travels to the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada February 16-27, 2010. From that amazing experience came this ongoing story of becoming a sports fan. You can follow my tales of awe, agony, and all the emotions in between as well as view pics from seasons of Phillies baseball. Along the way is a little Eagles football thrown in for fun, and even some astronomy and weather related tales. I feel lucky to have witnessed some historic games, some heartbreaking losses, but all wonderful when told from this new fan's point of view.

Never made it to a curling match

Last night,Tuesday February 9, 2010 was not a night to go anywhere, especially as far away from home as Paoli to see a curling match.
The snow started at 8:00 and now, at 1:00 the next day, it is supposed to continue through the evening. Whether the predicted 12-18" really happens, this second major winter storm in a week has brought our total for the season past the record from 1996.
With no days remaining, I'll have to go 'blind' to the Curling match next week (next week!!!!!!). Hopefully, I'll sit next to diehard fans who will show me the way.
