Poetry on Ice
While watching endless hours of bobsled and curling while being snowed in this winter, Mr. Hunting Creek and I thought of Improvements we'd make to the Olympic events. For example, wouldn't bobsled be more exciting to watch if they had to go headfirst down a water chute and maybe also through a wall of fire?
If the skeleton people had to do jumps on their sleds, like the freestyle skiers?
If the hockey games were played to the accompaniment of classical music, or jazz or rock music like figure skating? So they had a Theme they had to interpret during the game. Like Moonlight Sonata, or Scheherazade, or western swing? Just an idea.
