Cleared for Takeoff
The last time I can remember doing this, I was 17. I really really wanted to be Peggy Fleming back then and I took figure skating lessons for a couple years, but eventually stopped. This weekend I was in Montreal where they are big into ice, and I decided to give it a try. The first time around I clung to the rail and could only move inches at a time. They have these ugly things that look like walkers, for old ladies and little kids just learning how to skate. I said, damn if I'm going to be seen with one of those. But finally I gave in and pushed one around the rink for a while. After a while I let go with one hand, and about a half hour later I stopped using it. It was great!!!
Have any of you recaptured the magic of something you enjoyed doing a long time ago?
