For several reasons
1) Mike didn’t cut me from his links section. That’s sort of like winning the lottery.
2) I survived the wrath of Lindsay’s rage that was prompted by my reply-posts. That’s just plain ol' divine intervention.
3) I learned how to stop on skates today. Like…HOCKEY stop. This is huge, people. It’s been a winter of baby-steps (and stops), and today I spent an hour skating and stopping my way home from the Ottawa Humane Society. A girl even giggled at me and we chatted for 20 minutes while I practiced and she twirled. As I no longer look like a giant ball of awkward on skates anymore, this experience was like reliving adolescence; I’m finally able to predict the way my body moves, and still afraid to ask a girl for her phone number.
Focus on the skating, people – and skate with me someday to witness Newton’s Third Law in action.
