For class meetings the other day we went roller skating. We rented out a roller rink and had the whole place to ourselves for 2 hours. It was pretty great. I didn’t actually use skates though. I sprang the 3$ for blades. I had been saving that 3$ for laundry money but I realized that morning that I had enough quarters. So I saved myself many brutal and embarrassing falls. I hadn’t skated at all since I stopped playing street hockey when I was 14. I was pretty rusty at first but I got the hang of it towards the end. The wheels were pretty worn and a couple of the bearings were shot so they weren’t the smoothest things in the world. The whole time I was thinking about how much used to love skating mostly because I played hockey on the weekends.
I started missing hockey really bad. The guy who used to coach hockey in Mark got into a disagreement with some county board members and moved. Hockey never really got started again. I wish I knew more about hockey and wish I was a lot better at it, then I would start the league back up again.
Really, I just want to play a game again. 5 years ago
