So... almost 2 decades pass and I don't put blades between myself and the ice. I love ice. I love the concept, I love the look and I love the taste (in a glass). I'm a big guy. I'm about 300 lbs. (hence the title) and I'm going to try skating!
I decided to go skating tonight with my wife and her friend and kids. What better way to end the 00's than on blades? Hey, I didn't even fall once!
Well, the blades were rentals (hockey skates, at that) and were a bit dull (sorry John Rose Oval staff, that be the truth) but it was cool to be able to get out there.
I hadn't really the chance to skate much as I grew up. The cost of skates were too much to handle due to how fast I was growing as a young kid. So, instead, I focused on football and baseball, which were a bit easier on the ol' pocket book.
Wait... where was I. Ahh, yes. It was a fun. I had a good time and I got the best thanks of all... the thanks of my wife for coming out and skating with her!
