Some Really Nice Folks and a Jackass

T’s regular lesson in learn-to-play today and not much new, except that I’ve decided not to jump into the current adult learn-to-play session.  I’d like to, but I’ve watched it a couple times now and I’d be the worst skater in there.  Instead, I’ll be taking...
