Good Times

I happened to be looking up something online when I came across a roller skating rink. . . don't ask. Anyway, it took me back to my youth and the Franconia Roller Rink that I used to go to in Springfield. Man, I could skate. At least, I thought I could. I couldn't do any tricks like skating backwards or circles, but I sure could fly around that ring and sure had loads of fun doing it. . . except during couples songs. I never had anyone to couples skate with.


Fast forward to the present, I think if I went roller skating now, I'd probably be bored to death. Somehow, the idea of just going around that oval over and over again sounds boring now. I don't know. Just thinking.

It might be more entertaining than you think! You might discover your ankles have a bit more wobble in them than they used to...

Took the kids to the Franconia rink before it closed. It's now a lazar tag place.
