My college friend James Arroyo moved to NYC several years ago. He loves it there. He's adapted to the size of the city and the weather rather well. However, I never expected this:
"Hey folks, I just got back from a curling club in Ardsley and have been tapped to join the Israeli curling team. Our goal is Vancouver in 2010(this isn't a joke). We went to a bonspiel (curling tourney) last week and joined the country club today."
WTF? Curling? That sport on ice with brooms? HUH? Israeli team? Olympics? What the hell are you talking about?
That was pretty much the text of my e-mail reply to James. Somehow, this Latino, Longhorn lovin', recovering Catholic from Austin, TX is going to be a member of the Israeli Olympic curling team. Sometimes life makes no sense.
And, apparently they're making a documentary about their team. The trailer is on-line, if you're interested. It takes a while to load, but I thought it was well worth it.
Enjoy.
