To skate or not to skate . . .
Our venerable Rhetoric professor once remarked, "Ponds are crucial in the development of children." I'm sure it's so, but my version of the quote would probably sound something like "Ice-skating is crucial in the development of children." While all the summer sports-equipment sits in the garage, out come the ice-skates. What else puts the roses in kids' cheeks and provides the thrill of speed and the impression of daring the worst danger in a relatively safe environment?
Ok, maybe sledding.
But that doesn't make ice-skating any less of a treat. And if you're thinking, "Oh no! I've never learned to skate! I've lived an impoverished childhood!" Don't despair. You can still ice-skate! Go out and try it. You know you want to.
