A few weeks ago I posted about the new HBO Series Flight of the Concords. At the time I really knew nothing about the comedy duo aside from their upcoming show. For those who don't know they have been doing this routine for a number of years now as both a comedy tour and a radio show on BBC radio. Now today as I was driving home from work listening to NPR, I caught part of the World Cafe in which they were the featured artist. I have to say these guys are really starting to grow on me. If you haven't checked them out yet I suggest watching their show on HBO or if you don't have HBO listen to their appearance on the World Cafe. They also have an album that was released in 2002 and they are planning to release a follow up this August.

Curling
This weekend I participated in my first Curling Bonspeil (that is the name for a Curling Tournament). For people who haven't curled before, or don't even know what curling is (no it has nothing to do with hair) check out the US Curling Association Website or Wikipedia to learn more.
I had never taken part in an organized curling event before, but I had tried it a handful of times over the past few years. It ended up my Dad and brother were on a team that was participating in a local Bonspeil this weekend and needed someone to fill in. Since I had enjoyed what I had experienced in the past, I figured this was a good opportunity to see what true competitive curling was like. To be honest it is very enjoyable. I would highly recommend if you ever have the chance to check it out. It is a unique experience and I guarantee you will meet great people in the process.
