I've really been enjoying the curling, both men's and women's.
Maybe because I'm a pool player?
I'm seeing more depth of strategy the more I watch, and by the time the games are over, I'll know next to nothing, rather than nothing at all, at all.

These are the secret distractions behind Dale Begg-Smith's gold medal fairytale.
When 21-year-old IT millionaire Begg-Smith won gold in the men's freestyle moguls at Torino 2006 yesterday, he became only Australia's third Olympic Winter Games gold medallist and fifth medal winner overall.
But along with the celebrations and kudos for being an Olympic champion, Begg-Smith was forced to fend off questions at his post-victory celebration about the nature of the internet business that has funded his Olympic campaign.
Born and bred in Canada but now calling Australia home, Begg-Smith's two main companies, AdsCPM and CPM Media, manage and track the success of ads placed on the internet through spyware and adware-style technology.
They have also been linked to pop-up and pop-under advertising - the type that causes so much frustration for internet users.
While he was still basking in the glory of his medal win yesterday, he was questioned by US journalists whether he had made his money from annoying "spam advertising".
"I make technology for companies to monitor their online ads," Begg-Smith said.P> "I don't do ad-pops. I make software so companies can do whatever they want.

"But I don't know what we are doing talking about my business when I've just won Olympic gold.
"The company is nowhere near as big as everybody has made it out to be. It's not a big deal - I just did a bit of stuff to make enough money to get by."
Begg-Smith his brother, Jason, 25, have largely been off-limits to the media since a sex scandal involving Japanese mogul skiing gold medal winner Tae Satoya and Jason became front-page news in Japan last year.
The Begg-Smiths were angry with the scurrilous nature of the reporting of an incident in which Satoya, a sexy 28-year-old moguls skier, was physically removed from Club 911 in Tokyo's Roppongi entertainment district after a violent confrontation with the manager and a bouncer.
The club claimed she had been having sex with Jason in the VIP room - a claim they both strenuously denied.
Great Britain won a medal!!!!!!!

Considering we don't even have a bobsleigh/skeleton track in the UK, and that she was funded by donations from her friends and neighbours, it's an incredible achievement.
Even though it's only a silver, for us this means it's now a pretty successful winter games
