Saturday

The Olympics are almost over.  Because of the time difference, I have been staying up way too late watching.  Some of the events are quite exciting.

I have been thinking about all the training the athletes go through.  Whether or not they ever wear an Olympic medal, they can be proud to even be there. 

I used to skate when I was a girl. We used to take our skates to school so we could go skating after school. We used to skate outside too. The last time I went skating was the year I went to business school. We had a skating party at one of the girl's farm. All I remember is how cold my feet were. There are times I could go skating at the arena here in town for a minimal price but now I have no skates and I am so afraid of falling. It's too bad I couldn't use one of those chairs that toddlers use when they are just starting out. It would be good exercise.
