I officially tested in the bottom half percent for coordination, and was still able to learn to ice skate in a matter of hours.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

I have ankle isues with single blade skates, ice or roller. After 3-4 times around a rink and I am in lots of pain. roller quads are much better, but I almost never go skating.
I always had this problem with rental ice skates, once I had my own pair I did not.
Happy Birthday Shrift!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, who got to my cat to tell him that claw trimming Is Bad? He never minded it until recently!

Happy birthday, shrift!
Emmett and JZ tried to go skating yesterday, but everybody in SF had the same bright idea so there was an hour long wait.
Last time I went skating with Emmett I wiped out several times and was quite the bruise collection. It was disheartening. I'd been going a couple times a year for a while now with only occasional toe-catches.
JZ's very good on the ice. Emmett gets around, somewhat stiff kneed.

Our wings are not tired.
Today is also the 5th anniversary of Spirit landing on Mars. [link] Energizer bunny is going to start getting jealous of those rovers. Most impressive. Also, that totally doesn't seem like 5 years ago.

Does anyone here a Wii Fit? (Or do I need to ask about opinions in the gaming thread?)

It's a gorgeous day here, so I've been out and about, getting some stuff done (mostly as a byproduct). It's so nice to not feel sick. I think the past few days are the first time I didn't feel icky since early December.

I have accomplished Part 2 of Dealing With Files. Sadly, there will have to be a Part 3, mostly for shredding, but I'm not in the mood anymore.
