Mr Boo and I are planning a trip to Gatlinburg, TN. We will be leaving sometime tomorrow (early, I hope), and arriving in the afternoon or evening. We will be there Sunday-Tuesday, and will enjoy skiing, ice skating, and mountain views.
To get ready for the trip, I packed my bags, sent Mr Boo to the ski shop to get my skis waxed (because I’m stuck at work and can’t do it myself), and brought my ice skates to work.
You did what? You took your ice skates to work?
Yes! I bought some ice skates on Ebay a couple of months ago, and if they had been used by the previous owner, it was only once or twice. They really need to be broken in. The best way to break skates in is to skate in them. The second best way to break them in is to wear them around the house. Well, I am not around the house; I am at work. Fortunately, it’s Saturday, so traffic through the office is rather sparse. So I’m sitting at my desk, wearing my ice skates, and waiting for the next emergency call. (I’m a police dispatcher.)
The car is packed, the skis are waxed, the skates are being broken in, and this time tomorrow, I will be on the ice at Ober Gatlinburg!
Keep an eye here for updates which will be posted during our trip.
