Roller Disco

Edell had a great idea that I was all for getting on board: a bit of late night roller-skating disco! It has been easily 20 years since I had gone skating. As Edell, Tullia and I stood up on our skates, the first few meters were a bit shakey and slow, but it all came flooding back to us. I may not be able to do all the tricks I once was able to do, but it still was fun, and great exercise! I even beat out a bunch of small children to win a free VIP pass back. The music was 80s theme, so when Edell's friend, Siobhán along with her sister Dierdre joined us, they were dressed in great 80's fashion. I was sad to not be able to dress up, as I love to do it, but I lived through the 80's the first time, and am not that excited to embrace those styles again. I need to go back since the craic was great! Now I look forward to someday skating at Oaks Park since it's four times the size as the one here. With a small rink though, I got really good at turning!
