Back in the rink after 35 years

[SkatinLamb]

And do I feel old! In what previous decade did I leave my (limited) skills? I've become one of those stiff-legged, arm-waving, wall-hugging Frankenstein skaters. And I haven't had that much fun in years in spite of my first time being family night with dozens of kids splattered all over the floor. My dodging skills came back pretty quick!

I bought myself a super cheap pair of skates since surely they'll be a step up from those torture devices known as rentals. If I keep this up I'll be looking at investing in a good lifelong setup, and these (Roller Derby Vipers--yeah, cheapos) will become my outdoor neighborhood skates. If they last.

I'm looking forward to joining in here. I've already learned A LOT.
