(no subject)

Lots of work tonight, at skating practice... rather than take it easy after the two-week break, the coach instead pushed us. New moves: my first 360-degree jump (toe loop), and putting together back-to-back jumps in a combination (waltz jump-toe loop). I fell down repeatedly, pushing the edge... five times. I'll probably be sore tomorrow. And I managed more rotations in the one-foot spin... and finally left there all sweaty from exertion, in a state normally familiar only to patgreene and tenacious_snail... ;-).

Then home... meanwhile, Pat herself was out late at S&P.

Ice skating party, 1/22

Given the poll results last month (here), just before leaving for Atlanta I made reservations for an ice skating party.

Please join us for some wintertime fun, outdoors on Sunday late afternoon/early evening, January 22 from 5:30-7:30pm at the Winter Lodge, 3009 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto. This will be a child-friendly (encouraged) event. We'll provide cider, cocoa, cheese and crackers and patgreene's brownies (any potluck contributions of other food or drink are welcome, but not necessary), and cheery people gliding around in their winter outerwear... I'll cover admissions and skate rental for RSVPs before 1/16 (free for non-skaters, in any case).
