Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Our wings are not tired.

I was much better on ice skates than I ever was on roller skates. A friend's dad always made a rink in the backyard, but we skated down the streets too. It has been decades since I skated. If memory serves we were skating right after walking.

Yep, gravity is a harsh mistress throughout life.

I wish I could skate. I did as a kid but I haven't since. K is a marvel on skates.

Though all I have time for now is yoga. Or all I am trying to make time for is yoga.

Happy shriftday!

K claims that she can teach any kid who can walk to also skate.

You know how coordinated I am, and I could ice skate pretty well. I learned the same way Sparky did, except that it never occurred to my father to give my mother a break. Ice skating is much easier than roller skating, and I learned on frozen lakes and rivers, which are softer to fall on than concrete or ice over concrete. My main trauma was that my parents wouldn't buy me hockey skates. I really missed ice skating when we moved south.

“Not dead yet!”

Yeah, I was always better at ice skating than roller skating, at least until roller blades came along.

My parents always thought it was such a weird thing-- little Cuban-American girl from Miami so in love with ice skating, but it was my passion for years.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Happy Birthday Shrift.

I just can't get motivated today. Also, mailman tried to deliver a package as I was in the shower. I could have caught him if I was willing to run out int he snow in my PJs, but I'll just pick it up tomorrow.

I am still in my PJs.
