My daughter had to rush from one skating rink to another today - a lesson followed by a birthday party. At the latter event, I decided to put on a pair of skates myself, and see how well I remembered the whole thing - I think I've been on skates 2-3 times since I was a kid.

Well, it's apparently like riding a bike - the muscle memory all came back (except for the stopping bit - a little girl who insisted on flying back and forth in front of people, including me, tripped me up at one point) - watch out for the old guy on skates :)

All in all, it was pretty enjoyable - I might actually skate at some of the open sessions my daughter attends. Victoria took the picture above while she skated backwards in front of me - showoff :)
