The 100th Post

Finally on all 8 wheels!

This is the 100th post to my personal blog, started in November.

Steve bought some roller blades, so we went to Sanislo Elementary School yesterday afternoon to practice. I am standing here holding Sophia's leash, but trust me, I am not rolling anywhere with her yet. Steve is a lot more stable on his blades, so he slowly took her around and around the track while I practiced. I was a lot better after awhile, but I have a ways to go.

What is with all this protective gear? I never wore ANY of this stuff as a kid. Now everyone wears pads and helmets and mouth guards and if you don't you look like a reckless idiot. I guess I must thank the Plastics Council for that (they have a television ad campaign about all the ways plastic has been saving lives in the last 30 years). I bought all of the joint protection since I will most likely fall and it would be nice to not hurt myself too much. But I doubt I will ever be going fast enought to need a helmet or a mouth guard. I wonder if a bike helmet is good enough, I have one of those!
