A Short-Lived Roller Blade Story
Having recently divorced in the mid-nineties, I was open to anything new. The sight of people gliding along in those new roller blade skates got me thinking.
I confidently went out and bought a pair. After about 5 minutes of skating around the street in front of my house, I caught a glimpse of myself in a window reflection. I looked like a total dumbass, took the skates off, and never used them again.
