Today is Boomtime, day 29 in the season of Discord, 3269.
I got out on my rollerblades today for the first time. Utter humiliation, but no broken bones. We went over and skated around the parking garage at Northrop Grumman next door, since it was relatively flat and had a wall I could hang on to for dear life. Remind me again why I thought rollerblades were a good idea? I can almost get moving forward on my own, but stopping is still beyond me. We were out late enough that there wasn't time to get downtown before the movie started, so maybe I'll persuade C. to take me out for a steak instead...except he's now snoring on the living room floor.
Oh yeah, I nearly got taken out by a Canada goose that was being chased off by another one...it came flying by me close enough to blow my hair around a bit. As precariously balanced on the skates as I was, it wouldn't have taken much for said goose to knock me flat on my ass.
