My friend Alex celebrated his 30th this weekend, because the real date was too close to Christmas to get the kids out in numbers. This time the folks packed the house at the Wollman Skating Rink in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. I was too unsure of my skating abilities to take the camara onto the ice, plus the Blizzard of 06 would have obscured any photos. It was a blast skating through the pleasant snowfall, though.
The party was in a room beside the snack bar and had the nostalgic feeling of every public rink, pool, or bowling alley. Our group of 30-somethings tottered around the ice until our noses got pink while local kids weaved expertly in and out of our groups. The kids were more talented than us (two laughed heartily when I attempted a hocky stop on my first run and went ass over teacups), but we had bourbon and hot chocolate in the private room. So I call the event a push.
Epilogue: Today my right thigh hurts in places that I used to think were just winter fat storage and I had to get help putting on my shoes.
Site of the Day: For no reason, The Puppy Mover. You all know that Dick Cheney shot someone, right?
