Ice Skating

I love ice skating. I hadn't gone for years, but it was super fun to put on the rental skates at Yerba Buena with Roger yesterday. What a fun date - with more than 15 teenage chaperons. Rog had only been once before - about 15 years ago - so it was fun to show him "how it is done." I took two semesters of ice skating in college so that qualified me to be his instructor.

Roger: "How do you stop?"
Hillary: "You just stop moving."
Roger: "How do you stop moving?"
Hillary: "You just stop."

I was really helpful. Roger only fell 4 times in the hour we skated. I did hold his hand and skate side-by-side (that is after I ditched him for a couple of the teenage girls we were with. We had skated the rink three times by the time he had managed to shuffle around half-way.) I also skated backwards while holding both his hands and - my favorite - Roger held on to my hips and I pulled him around. It was a super fun night. Roger even said he had so much fun that he would take me again. Seriously.
