The curling open house was a lot of fun this past weekend. Over 500 people came through, Saturday and Sunday. I wasn't there Saturday, but I was there from 1 until 4:30 on Sunday and do you know not one fly was present, not ONE. I really thought I would see at least one, but Noooooooo! Man, they don't know what they're missing!
While I was at the open house, I was chatting with one of our long time members. He was a very friendly, funny old guy. He shared some history about our curling club and his first curling experience (in 1938)! This gentleman is 89 years young, and just stopped curling 2 years ago! Isn't that amazing? The only reason he quit is because after his hip surgery, he would stiffen up so badly on the ice, that he could barely move, so he had to stop. He also mentioned that he has had eye surgery and has battled with cancer and now he is about to have his knees replaced. I jokingly told him that he was the bionic man. He replied, with no hesitancy what so ever, that if he was the bionic man that he would be bionic all over. He then proceeded to say that he hadn't had an erection in 16 years. I nearly fell out of my chair! It's amazing what people will say as
they get older. All in all, he was a very nice guy, with a great sense of humor and had no problem hanging out with a fly!
