1. I was just checking that out yesterday.

There is a women's curling league headquartered in Rochester, as well as a U.S. curling association. I just googled till I found something.

4. New York.

www.uswca.org

There's also www.uscurling.org and www.curling.com (this is a Canadian site with links to all kinds of curling associations -- foreign ones, wheelchair curling, etc.).

2. Try bocce.

It's easier to pack up and take with you when you go camping, on road trips, etc.

9. BTW- curling was a HUGE hit in 2002 on CNBC

Apparently the stock broker crowd LOVED going to bars and watching it and betting. I was huge in several places, any number of ways to bet on it. Instant results too.

11. My husband gets a crush on the Swedish women's team every four years.

It's his favorite part of the winter Olympics.

13. There's a curling club in St Paul on Selby Ave

I go by it every day going into work. It's near the corner of Selby & Western, just west of Fern's. They may be in the phone book.
